  • Patent number: 11492465
    Abstract: A rubber composition is based on at least: from 60 to 100 phr of one or more diene elastomers, referred to as very low glass transition temperature (Tg) diene elastomers, exhibiting a Tg within a range extending from ?110° C. to ?70° C., chosen from butadiene homopolymers, copolymers of butadiene and of vinylaromatic monomer, exhibiting a content of vinylaromatic unit of between 0% and 5% by weight, and the mixtures of these; a reinforcing filler; crosslinking system; and from 50 to 150 phr of at least one hydrocarbon resin predominantly composed of units resulting from ?-pinene monomers, the resin exhibiting an aliphatic proton content of greater than 95%.

  • Publication number: 20180346691
    Abstract: A rubber composition based at least on a reinforcing filler, on a Lewis or Bronsted acid, on a diene elastomer obtained by stereospecific polymerization in the presence of a neodymium-based Ziegler-Natta catalytic system and on a 1,3-dipolar compound comprising an associative group, is provided. The Lewis acid is selected from the group consisting of aluminium oxides, titanium oxides and the compounds M(L)n, with M being boron, magnesium, aluminium, titanium, iron, zinc, indium or ytterbium, L being a monodentate or bidendate ligand and n being an integer ranging from 2 to 4. The Bronsted acid is selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acids. Such a composition exhibits a very low hysteresis.

  • Publication number: 20180346617
    Abstract: The use of a diene elastomer and of a 1,3-dipolar compound in a rubber composition based at least on a reinforcing filler comprising a reinforcing inorganic filler and on a coupling agent is provided. The 1,3-dipolar compound comprises a group Q and a group A connected together by a group B, in which Q comprises a dipole containing at least one nitrogen atom, A comprises an associative group comprising at least one nitrogen atom and B is an atom or a group of atoms forming a bond between Q and A. The diene elastomer is obtained by stereospecific polymerization of at least one 1,3-diene by means of a Ziegler-Natta catalytic system and containing less than 150 ppm of the element neodymium. The use of such a diene elastomer and such a 1,3-dipolar compound in the rubber composition makes it possible to confer a very low hysteresis on the rubber composition.

  • Publication number: 20180334553
    Abstract: A rubber composition based at least on a reinforcing filler, on a Lewis or Bronsted acid and on a modified diene elastomer is provided. The diene elastomer bears one or more pendant associative groups comprising at least one nitrogen atom. The diene elastomer before modification is obtained by stereospecific polymerization in the presence of a neodymium-based Ziegler-Natta catalytic system. The Lewis acid is selected from the group consisting of aluminium oxides, titanium oxides and the compounds M(L)n, with M being boron, magnesium, aluminium, titanium, iron, zinc, indium or ytterbium, L being a monodentate or bidendate ligand and n being an integer ranging from 2 to 4. The Bronsted acid is selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acids. Such a composition exhibits a very low hysteresis.
