  • Publication number: 20250019527
    Abstract: A rubber compound has at least two glass transition temperatures Tg1 and Tg2, based on at least one vulcanization system and at least two rubber compositions C1 and C2, the composition C1 comprising at least one elastomer E1 and having a Tg1, the composition C2 comprising at least one elastomer E2 different from E1, and a reinforcing filler, and the composition C2 having a Tg2, in which: Tg1??50° C.; the rubber compound satisfies Tg1-Tg2?23° C.; the rubber compound has a loss factor profile which is such that all the tan ? peaks present at a temperature above the temperature Tg1 have a width at half height of ?23° C.; E1 is predominant in the rubber compound; E2 is an isoprene diene elastomer; and the vulcanization system comprises at least one vulcanization accelerator A selected from thiurams, dithiocarbamates, dithiophosphates, xanthates and mixtures thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230348701
    Abstract: A rubber composition is based on at least one non-functionalized first diene elastomer E1 having a glass transition temperature TgE1, one functionalized second diene elastomer E2 having a glass transition temperature TgE2, a reinforcing filler capable of interacting with the functionalized diene elastomer E2 and a crosslinking system, in which: the glass transition temperature TgE1 is above or equal to -50° C., the glass transition temperature TgE2 satisfies the mathematical relationship TgE2 ? TgE1-23° C., and the content of the non-functionalized diene elastomer E1 is greater than or equal to 50 phr. A tread and/or a pneumatic or non-pneumatic tire may comprise at least one composition as defined above.

  • Publication number: 20230227634
    Abstract: A rubber compound having at least two glass transition temperatures Tg1 and Tg2 is based on at least two rubber compositions C1 and C2, C1 comprising at least one elastomer E1 with Tg1, C2 comprising at least one elastomer E2 with Tg2 and a reinforcing filler, E2 being different from E1, where Tg1 is above or equal to -50° C., the rubber compound satisfies Tg1-Tg2 ? 23° C. and has a loss factor profile exhibiting the change in tan ? as a function of the temperature in °C. over a range extending from -80° C. to 60° C. at a frequency of 10 Hz and a constant stress of 0.7 MPa and exhibiting one or more peaks, such that all the tan ? peaks present at a temperature above Tg1 have a width at half height less than or equal to 23° C.; and E1 is predominant.
