Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the crosslink degree of a vulcanized sample in real time during a vulcanization process or diagnosing the electrical properties of the sample after the completion of the vulcanization process, and then determining an optimal vulcanization time and an optimal content of each constituent gradient of a composition for vulcanization that optimize the properties of the composition according to the vulcanization conditions, for the sake of improving the properties of the vulcanized sample prepared from a polymer by vulcanization at a high temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a copolymer prepared from a conjugated diene monomer and a vinyl aromatic monomer. The radial copolymer is prepared by coupling the terminal of a leaving polymer using a mixed coupling agent comprising the mixture of a multi-reactive polysiloxane and a tin halide compound, the leaving polymer being prepared by copolymerizing a conjugated diene monomer and a vinyl aromatic monomer in the presence of an organo lithium catalyst and a hydrocarbon solvent. The use of the radial copolymer improves the affinity to silica or carbon black used as a filler, and remarkably enhances processibility in the manufacture of tires as well as the properties (e.g., higher wet traction, lower rolling resistance, and higher tread wear) necessary for tires relative to the conventional products.
