Influence of silane coupling agent, bis-(3-(triethoxisilyl)-propyl)-tetrassulfide, on cure characteristics and bound rubber content of filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds and on physical properties of the vulcanizates was studied. Carbon black-filled and silica-filled compounds were compared. Content of the bound rubber increased with increased content of the silane coupling agent and this trend was shown more clearly in the silica-filled compounds. Optimum cure time of the carbon black-filled compound increased with increase of the silane content, while that of the silica-filled one decreased. Cure rate of the carbon black-filled compound became slower as the silane content increased while that of the silica-filled one became faster. By increasing the silane content, the minimum torque decreased and the delta torque increased. Physical properties of the silica-filled vulcanizate were found to be improved by adding the silane coupling agent. However, for the carbon black-filled vulcanizates, the tensile strength and tear resistance decreased with increase of the silane content. The differences between the carbon black-filled and silica-filled compounds were explained by difference in the reactivities of the fillers with the silane.

Pneumatic tires usually contain a variety of rubber compositions, each designed to contribute some particular factor to overall performance. Rubber compounds designed for a specific function will usually be similar but not identical In composition and properties. Since 1970`s finite element analysis of tire has been performed extensively, which requires some energy density functions of rubber components of a tire. The conventional Mooney-Rivlin material model is one of the description that is commonly used in the analysis of tire. In this paper, we report the two material constants of gooney-Rivlin material model for some rubber compounds of a real pneumatic tire, which are obtained through uniaxial tension test.

고무복합체는 높은 점탄성 성질을 보이는데 압출성형 시 이 점탄성 성질 때문에 압출물이 팽창하게 된다. 그리고 팽윤양은 공정 조건에 따라서 변한다. 점탄성 성질에서 탄성 부분은 압출물의 팽창에 있어서 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문은 모세관 다이에서 여러 가지 고무복합체에 따른 다이팽윤을 알아보기 위해 상용 CFD 프로그램인 Polyflow를 사용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 컴퓨터 모사에서는 비선형 미분 점탄성 모델인 Phan-Thien-Tanner(PTT) 모델을 사용하였고 온도를 고러하여 해석하였다. 해석을 통해서 레저버와 모세관 다이에서 압출물의 압력, 속도, 그리고 온도 분포 등을 예측하였다. 여러 가지 고무 복합체의 다이 팽윤양을 알아보기 위해서 유량과 모세관 다이의 지름을 변경하면서 연구하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 PPT 모델은 고무 복합체에 대한 점탄성 거동을 잘 표현하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The vulcanizate structure of silica-filled compounds is affected by the filler-rubber interaction (FRI) due to the silica-rubber coupling reaction and the chemical crosslink density (CCD) of the matrix rubber. In this study, the vulcanizate structure changes of silica-filled compounds according to the silane and sulfur variation were quantitatively analyzed using the Flory-Rehner and Kraus equations. In efficiency vulcanization (EV) conditions with low sulfur content, FRI increased when the bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide (TESPT) content increased, and the CCD clearly decreased. By contrast, in semi-EV conditions with high sulfur content, as TESPT content increased, the FRI increased the same way EV conditions, but the CCD was unchanged. Based on these results, it was confirmed that FRI of the silica-filled compounds increased as TESPT content increased, but CCD decreased or retained similar values according to the vulcanization system, indicating that the formation reaction of FRI was preferred over CCD.

Low molecular weight liquid butadiene rubber (LqBR) is a processing aid that can resolve the migration problem of tire tread compounds. Various studies are being conducted to replace the petroleum-based processing oil with LqBR. However, the effect of the loading time of LqBR in the compounding process on silica dispersion and vulcanizate properties is not well known. In this study, we analyzed silica dispersion, vulcanizate properties, and viscoelastic properties of silica-filled tire tread compound according to the processing aid type (TDAE oil, non-functional LqBR) and, silane terminated LqBR) and input timing. In the non-functional LqBR compounds, the 'with TESPT' mixing procedure showed excellent dynamic viscoelastic properties while silane-terminated LqBR compounds showed that the 'after TESPT' mixing procedure was good for 300% modulus and abrasion resistance.

The effect of the silica content on the state and properties of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber/butadiene rubber (SBR/BR) compounds containing coupling and dispersion agents was evaluated by varying the content of silica from 50 to 120 phr. Bis-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl] tetrasulfide (TESPT) and zinc 2-ethylhexanoate (ZEH) were used as the coupling and dispersion agents, respectively. The maximum silica content in the pristine material was 80 phr, which increased to 120 phr upon the addition of TESPT and ZEH. The incorporation of TESPT considerably improved most of the rubber properties due to its coupling action and the suppression of silica flocculation, while further addition of ZEH resulted in additional improvements. The properties of the rubber compounds with different silica contents can be fully explained either by an enhancement of the rubber-silica interactions or by their deterioration due to an excessive amount of silica aggregates.

본 실험에서는 공가류와 내오존성을 동시에 만족하는 고무 조성비의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 사용한 시편은 NR, SBR, BR, IIR 및 EPDM을 다양한 비율로 블렌딩 한 고무 조성물(시편 A), NR/BR/SBR로 구성된 불포화 고무 조성물(시편B)와 NR/IIR/EPDM로 구성된 포화 고무 조성물(시편C)이다. 시편A와 시편B, 시편A와 시편C를 각각 공가류시켜 PAD 접착 시편을 제작하여 박리강도를 측정하였다. 또한 시편A에 대해서 내오존성을 평가하였다. 시편 A의 불포화 고무 조성중(NR/BR Blend)에 BR보다 NR의 비율이 높을수록 시편B와 시편C와의 접착 강도가 높았고, 또다른 불포화 고무 조성(NR/SBR)에서는 NR보다 SBR 함량이 높을수록 접착 강도는 높았다. 또한 시편A의 조성중에서 NR/BR/IIR/EPDM 조성물 보다 NR/SBR/IIR/EPDM 조성물이 접착성이 우수하였다. 고무 조성중 불포화 고무가 많을수록 접착 강도는 우수하였으나, 내오존성은 다소 열세였다. 불포화 고무와 포화 고무의 비율이 60/40 정도 일 때 접착 강도와 내오존성이 모두 양호하였다.

The demand for truck bus radial (TBR) tires with enhanced fuel efficiency and wear resistance have grown in recent years. In addition, as the issue of particulate matter and air pollution increases, efforts are being made to reduce the generation of particulate matter. In this study, we investigated the effect of varying the content of butadiene rubber (BR) on the properties of the rubber compounds and the amount of particulate matter in the TBR tire tread compound. Furthermore, we utilized carbon black in the NR/BR blend compounds owing to its excellent compatibility, and we used silica in the ENR-25/BR blend compounds because it can interact chemically with epoxide groups. The NR/BR blend compounds and the ENR-25/BR blend compounds were evaluated by varying their BR content between 20 phr and 30 phr. The results showed that the ENR-25/BR blend compounds had superior wear resistance than the NR/BR blend compounds. This was caused by the interaction between silica and ENR. In addition, it was confirmed that the increased wear resistance as the BR content increased. Furthermore, compared to the NR/BR blend compounds, ENR-25/BR blend compounds exhibited a lower tan 𝛿 value at 60℃ because silica was used as filler. This indicates a higher fuel efficiency. The measurement results for wear particulate matter showed that as increasing the BR content resulted in generation of less wear particulate matter. This was caused by the increased wear resistance. Moreover, the ENR-25/BR blend compounds with excellent filler-rubber interaction exhibited lower quantities of generated wear particulate matters as compared to the NR/BR blend compounds.

극성을 띠고있어 응집되는 성향이 카본블랙에 비해 강한 실리카의 분산도는 고무 복합소재의 물성을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. Wolff는 입자간 상호계수(${\alpha}_F$)를 도입하여 충전제간의 구조발달을 최초로 표현하였다. 하지만, 양기능성 실란의 도입에 따라 형성되는 3차원 구조발달은 표현할 수 없었다. 후에 이를 보완하기 위하여 Wolff의 표현은 복합소재 내 ${\alpha}_F$를 포함하는 구조발달 상호계수 ${\alpha}_C$로 확장되어 표현되었지만, 실험적으로 이 표현을 증명한 연구는 없었다. 이 논문은 구조발달 상호계수인 ${\alpha}_C$를 ${\alpha}_F$(실리카-실리카간 구조발달 상호계수), ${\alpha}_{FP}$(실리카-실란-고무간 구조발달 상호계수), ${\alpha}_P$(고무-고무간 구조발달 상호계수)로 고려하여 단기능성 및 양기능성 실란으로 처리된 실리카가 함유된 복합소재를 실험에 의해 최초로 표현하였다. 구조가 다른 실란들(PTES, OTES, TESPD, TESPT)을 이용하여 구조발달 상호계수 ${\alpha}_C$를 구성하는 ${\alpha}_F$, ${\alpha}_{FP}$, ${\alpha}_P$의 수치들을 측정하고 계산하였다. TESPT가 첨가된 복합소재의 ${\alpha}_C$의 값은 1.64이며, 이를 구성하고 있는 ${\alpha}_F$, ${\alpha}_{FP}$, ${\alpha}_P$는 각각 0.99, 0.31, 0.34로 나타났다.
