摘要:
Rubber mixtures for tire treads are found, which show an improved wet skid resistance coupled with balanced abrasion and rolling resistance properties. This is achieved by rubber blend mixtures which contain 3,4-polyisoprene having a 3,4-content from 55 to 75%, a glass transition temperature from 0.degree. to -25.degree. C., a number average molecular weight of 200,000 and higher and an inhomogeneity U of less than 1.8. Motor vehicle tires can be prepared in an advantageous manner with these rubber mixtures.

Polyisoprenes having a high content of 1,2- and 3,4-structural units, a process for their preparation, and their use.The previous processes for the preparation of polyisoprene having a high content of 1,2- and 3,4-structural units were still unsatisfactory in terms of the cocatalyst employed.The use of ethylene glycol dialkyl ethers of the formulaR.sub.1 --O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--R.sub.2in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are alkyl groups having different numbers of C atoms, from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n- and isopropyl and n-, iso-, sec.- and tert.-butyl, has, in particular, the advantage that the "living polymers" formed during the anionic polymerization are not damaged.The production of tires and damping elements using these polyisoprenes.
摘要:
The invention relates to hot-vulcanizable tread strips which are produced from novel vulcanizable compositions and from which the treads of pneumatic motor tires can be produced. The vulcanizable compositions are based on a rubber component which includes a special, novel rubber component based on isoprene.The inventive tire treads have an excellent combination of useful properties which can be described by the following set of characteristics:(a) High flexibility of low temperatures, i.e., the elastic rubber state is retained even at temperatures below -30.degree. C. (i.e., good cold-weather properties);(b) High vibration-damping over a wide temperature range, and thus good wet skid resistance (i.e., tread safety);(c) High wear-resistance, and thus long service life (i.e., economic advantages).The tire treads have good all-weather characteristics, and thus the tires may be used year-round.
