Patent number: 10662318Abstract: Provided in the present invention is a rubber composition for tires which is improved in a dispersibility of silica in a rubber blended with a large amount of silica having so far made it difficult to be kneaded with the rubber and which makes it possible to carry out simultaneously using silica having a large particle diameter and blending a large amount of silica. Used in the present invention is a rubber composition for tires comprising a natural rubber and/or diene base rubber component, a glycerin fatty acid ester composition containing glycerin fatty acid monoester, and silica, wherein a BET specific surface area of the silica is 100 m2/g or more and 130 m2/g or less, and the rubber composition for tires contains 80 parts by mass or more of the silica based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Yasushi Yamagishi

Publication number: 20170313862Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a rubber composition containing: a rubber component (A) including at least 50 mass % of a styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber; a filler (B) including 80-130 parts by mass of silica; a silane coupling agent (C); a thermoplastic resin (D); at least one compound (E) selected from guanidines, sulfenamides, and thiazoles; an organic acid compound (F); and a vulcanizing agent (G). The method includes kneading the rubber composition over a plurality of stages. The kneading includes: a first kneading stage of kneading the rubber component (A), the filler (B), the silane coupling agent (C), the thermoplastic resin (D), all or some of the compound (E), and all or some of the organic acid compound (F); and a second kneading stage of, after the first kneading stage, kneading the vulcanizing agent (G) and a kneaded product prepared through kneading in the first kneading stage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2015Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Yasushi YAMAGISHI

Publication number: 20170121510Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition in which processability, an abrasion resistance and a rolling resistance can be consistent well in a tire to a high degree, and parts and members for the tire. Also, an object of the present invention is to inhibit a shrink of the rubber composition. In the present invention, the rubber composition is blended with 90 to 130 parts by weight of carbon black having a large particle diameter based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, and a glycerin fatty acid ester composition, whereby the carbon black having a large particle diameter is improved in dispersibility in the rubber composition. This allows the unvulcanized rubber composition to be enhanced in a processability by reducing a viscosity thereof, and the rubber composition for a tire which is improved in an abrasion resistance, rolling resistance and a processability, and a tire produced by using the above rubber composition are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2015Publication date: May 4, 2017Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Yasushi YAMAGISHI
