  • ELASTOMER COMPOSITION AND TIRE
    Publication number: 20240010821
    Abstract: An elastomer composition containing a styrene-based elastomer, and a temperature-responsive resin that changes its hydrophilicity with changes in temperature, the elastomer composition satisfying the following relationship at two given temperatures differing by at least 10° C.: (Contact angle at lower temperature)/(Contact angle at higher temperature)?0.90, the lower temperature being lower than 25° C.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 1, 2021
    Publication date: January 11, 2024
    Applicant: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.
    Inventors: Haruko SAWAKI, Tomohiro AKAHORI
  • ELASTOMER COMPOSITION AND TIRE
    Publication number: 20230407059
    Abstract: An elastomer composition, containing a butadiene-based elastomer, and a temperature-responsive resin that changes its hydrophilicity with changes in temperature, the elastomer composition satisfying the following relationships at two given temperatures differing by at least 10° C.: (Elastic modulus at lower temperature and when immersed in water)/(Elastic modulus at lower temperature and when dry)?0.95, and (Elastic modulus at higher temperature and when immersed in water)/(Elastic modulus at higher temperature and when dry)>0.95, the lower temperature being lower than 25° C.
