  • Publication number: 20220186000
    Abstract: A method for preparing a rubber composition capable of improving the physical properties of a final product is disclosed. A rubber composition is prepared by dispersing polybutene in rubber in a solution phase (PIB extended rubber). The method comprises dispersing hydrophobic extender oil and polybutene in water to prepare an extender oil/polybutene emulsion; adding the extender emulsion to a latex-shaped rubber composition and uniformly dispersing the same in a solution to prepare a rubber/extension oil/polybutene composition; and solidifying, drying and molding the composition in a latex shape through salting-out and acid precipitation. When the rubber composition is applied to a tire tread composite material, the durability, grip property and low rotational resistance are improved, thereby attaining improved braking characteristic, low fuel consumption characteristic, and wear performance.

  • Patent number: 9266981
    Abstract: Disclosed is a conjugated diene random copolymer having an alkoxysilane unit, which is prepared by subjecting a conjugated diene monomer, an aromatic vinyl monomer and an alkoxysilane monomer having a specific structure to emulsion polymerization, and in which the copolymer contains an alkoxysilane unit in the backbone thereof and is thus enhanced in the degree of dispersion and affinity to an inorganic reinforcing material such as carbon black or silica, and is useful as a rubber material for tires having superior mechanical and dynamic properties.

  • Publication number: 20130289200
    Abstract: Disclosed are a novel chain transfer agent having a trichloromethyl functional group bonded at an end thereof, an end-modified styrene-butadiene copolymer prepared by using the chain transfer agent, and an organic-inorganic composite obtained by mixing the end-modified styrene-butadiene copolymer with silica. The disclosed end-modified styrene-butadiene copolymer has a high affinity with silica because its end is modified with a hydrophilic chain transfer agent. Thus, the organic-inorganic composite including the mixture of the copolymer with silica is useful as a material for the manufacture of rubber products such as a tire, a sole, a rubber hose, or a rubber belt.

  • Patent number: 8530017
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a styrene-butadiene copolymer having improved silica affinity through introduction of a novel reactive emulsifier. The styrene-butadiene copolymer prepared according to the disclosed method has superior affinity for thereby and thus has superior processability and tensile properties and remarkably improved dynamic properties. Therefore, when the styrene-butadiene copolymer according to the present invention is used as a tire tread material, it can greatly improve its physical properties.

  • Patent number: 8455600
    Abstract: Provided is a functional styrene-butadiene copolymer having superior silica affinity. The copolymer is prepared by radical polymerizing a styrene monomer, a butadiene monomer and a reactive polyol monomer in emulsion state in order to maximize the mixing effect when compounding with silica. When mixed with silica, the disclosed styrene-butadiene copolymer provides excellent wet traction and superior abrasion resistance, and is suitable to be used for an industrial material of snow tires, belts, hoses, etc.
