Publication number: 20230128470Abstract: A process for manufacturing a rubber composition which comprises more than 50 phr of a diene elastomer rich in ethylene units, a reinforcing filler comprising a carbon black and a vulcanization system comprising sulfur, a sulfenamide as primary accelerator and a thiuram polysulfide or a mixture of a thiuram polysulfide and a guanidine as secondary accelerator is provided. The process comprises mixing the highly saturated diene elastomer, the reinforcing filler and the secondary accelerator by kneading at a temperature above 110?C, in the absence of the sulfur and the primary accelerator, and incorporating the sulfur and the primary accelerator into the rubber composition by kneading at a temperature below 110° C. The process makes it possible to reduce the hysteresis of the vulcanized rubber compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Etienne Fleury, Julien Cladiere

Publication number: 20190270341Abstract: A radial tire intended to be fitted to a heavy vehicle of construction plant type, and more particularly to the tread thereof. The tread of such a tire is desensitized to attack by indenting bodies that are likely to cause cracks at the cut bottom, in particular in the case of a tread with a high volumetric void ratio and a high degree of surface siping. Such a tire has a degree of surface siping TL of the tread at least equal to 3 m/m2, a number of cycles to failure NR of the elastomeric compound of the tread, at least present at the cut bottom, at least equal to 60000 cycles, and a ratio C between the number of cycles to failure NR of the elastomeric compound and the degree of surface siping TL at least equal to 20000 cycles/(m/m2).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2017Publication date: September 5, 2019Inventors: Olivier SPINNLER, Julien CLADIERE

Patent number: 10189978Abstract: The present invention relates to a rubber composition based on a reinforcing filler and on an elastomer matrix comprising a highly saturated diene elastomer comprising at least five distinct units of A, B, C, D and E distributed randomly within the elastomer at respective molar fractions of m %, n %, o %, p % and q %, where m+n+o+p+q=100; m?50; n+o+p+q?10; and 15?p+q?2. This rubber composition enables a satisfactory degree of stiffness to be reached while maintaining hysteresis properties acceptable for use in the manufacture of tires for running vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2014Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Julien Thuilliez, Benoit Schnell, Julien Cladiere

Publication number: 20170190217Abstract: The present invention relates to a tire tread comprising a rubber composition which improves the compromise between wear and durability of the tire, especially a tire intended to run off-road. The composition comprises: from more than 50 to 100 phr of a polyisoprene matrix, the polyisoprene matrix containing an epoxidized polyisoprene having a molar degree of epoxidation ranging from 5% to less than 50%, a carbon black and a silica, the weight of carbon black being greater than 50% of the total weight of carbon black and silica, from 0 to less than 2 phr of a coupling agent, and a crosslinking system. The epoxidized polyisoprene is an epoxidized natural rubber or an epoxidized synthetic polyisoprene having a molar content of 1,4-cis bonds of at least 90% before epoxidation, or a mixture thereof, and, if the epoxidized polyisoprene is an epoxidized polyisoprene having a molar degree of epoxidation of from 5% to 25%, the rubber composition contains more than 50 phr of epoxidized polyisoprene.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2015Publication date: July 6, 2017Applicants: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN, Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventors: AURÉLIE JOSEPH, JULIEN CLADIERE
