Publication number: 20240059819Abstract: Polar silane linkers are provided that attach to resins to form silane-functionalized resins. The functionalized resins can be bound to hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica particles to improve the dispersibility of the silica particles in rubber mixtures. Further disclosed are synthetic routes to provide the silane-functionalized resins, as well as various uses and end products that benefit from the unexpected properties of the silane-functionalized resins. Silane-functionalized resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the silane-functionalized resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, and wet braking performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Emily Baird Anderson, John Dayton Baker, JR., Terri Roxanne Carvagno, Judicael Jacques Chapelet, Wei-Min Cheng, Liu Deng, Jacobus Gillis De Hullu, Sebastian Finger, Hubert Hirschlag, Wentao Li, Mutombo Joseph Muvundamina, Fabian Peters, Carla Recker

Patent number: 11668685Abstract: Modified thermoplastic hydrocarbon thermoplastic resins are provided, as well as methods of their manufacture and uses thereof in rubber compositions. The modified thermoplastic resins are modified by decreasing the relative quantity of the dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer oligomers as compared to the corresponding unmodified thermoplastic resin polymers, resulting in a product that exhibits a greater shift in the glass transition temperature of the elastomer(s) used in tire formulations. This translates to better viscoelastic predictors of tire tread performance, such as wet grip and rolling resistance. The modified thermoplastic resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the modified thermoplastic resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, snow performance, and wet braking performance.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Synthomer Adhesive Technologies LLCInventors: Mark Arigo, Terri Roxanne Carvagno, Jacobus Gillis De Hullu, Sebastian Finger, Hubert Hirschlag, Janine Klomp, Fabian Peters, Carla Recker, Christopher George Robertson, Peter Versluijs
