Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4

[0018] In each formulation shown in Table I (parts by weight), the components other than the vulcanization accelerator and sulfur were mixed by a 0.25 liter internal mixer for 3 to 5 minutes to obtain a master batch, which was then mixed with the vulcanization accelerator and sulfur by an 8-inch open roll to obtain a rubber composition. This composition was press vulcanized in a 15×15×0.2 cm mold at 160° C. for 20 minutes to obtain a rubber sheet.

[0019] Each vulcanized rubber sheet obtained above was evaluated by the following method.

[0020] 300% modulus (MPa): Measured according to JIS K6301

[0021] tan δ (60° C.): Value measured using viscoelasticity spectrometer (Toyo Seiki) at a temperature of 60° C. under conditions of an initial strain of 10%, a dynamic strain of ±2%, and a frequency of 20 Hz. Note that when considering tread rubber for a tire, the lower this value, the smaller the rolling resistance and therefore the smaller the heat ...

Abstract

A rubber composition obtained by compounding thereinto a rubber component containing 0.5 to 100% by weight of a modified conjugated diene-based polymer having a fullerene bonded thereto in the molecule and having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more excellent processability, superior balance of modulus and heat buildup, excellent cold flowability and superior tan δ balance.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a rubber composition containing a modified conjugated diene-based polymer having a bonded fullerene in the molecule thereof. More specifically, it relates to a rubber composition containing a modified diene-based polymer having an excellent processability, superior balance between the modulus and the heat buildup, excellent cold flowability and superior tan δ balance with a low tan δ value at 60° C. and high tan δ value at 0° C. BACKGROUND ART [0002] A fullerene is a spherical compound consisting of only carbon atoms. The term includes higher order fullerenes consisting of 60 carbon atoms (C60) and higher even numbers of carbon atoms. These include 12 five-member rings and 20 or more five-member rings, six-member rings or seven-member rings. It has been learned in recent years that the most representative C60 is a molecule extremely high in reactivity due to its special electron system. This reactivity is utilized for various t...
