Publication number: 20200407536Abstract: The present invention is a method for producing a vulcanized rubber composition that contains a rubber component containing a polyisoprene rubber, and a syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, wherein the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene and the polyisoprene rubber are kneaded at a temperature higher by 10 to 100° C. than the melting point of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, and the resultant unvulcanized rubber composition is vulcanized at a temperature falling within a range of the melting point of the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene ±15° C. The method improves the crack growth resistance of the vulcanized rubber composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2019Publication date: December 31, 2020Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Katsuhiko TSUNODA

Patent number: 6300396Abstract: Disclosed is a guide lug composition for a rubber track comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a fatty acid amide based on 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber material; or comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) powder based on 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber material; or comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a fatty acid amide and 5 to 40 parts by weight of a UHMW-PE power based on 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber material. The guide lug composition serves to reduce abrasion of or damages to a guide lug, to improve the characteristics in preventing the rubber track from slipping off a wheel, which is called “detracking”, to reduce friction loss when the guide lug contacts and collides with the wheel thereby reducing energy losses.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1998Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Katsuhiko Tsunoda, Shingo Kato, Naoki Nishimura
