Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rubber, and specifically relates to a composition for preparing rubber and a method for preparing rubber. This invention also relates to rubber prepared by said composition or method. Background Technology

[0002] Because the tire sidewall is constantly undergoing cyclic compression and deformation during vehicle operation, it is continuously damaged by the reaction of ozone and ultraviolet rays, and is also subjected to external mechanical forces. Therefore, the sidewall rubber compound is typically required to possess excellent resistance to aging, abrasion, tearing, radial and circumferential cracking, and good fatigue life. Furthermore, the performance of the tire sidewall is also crucial from the perspective of appearance and durability. The sidewall is the part of the tire subjected to extremely frequent flexural deformation and should have excellent resistance to flexural cracking.

[0003] Currently, most tire sidewall rubber systems are made of pure natural rubber (NR) or a blend of natural rubber and butadiene rubber (NR / BR). NR has excellent resistance to flexural crack propagation, while BR has excellent resistance to flexural crack initiation. However, these blends still have drawbacks such as poor resistance to flexural cracking and poor resistance to heat and oxygen aging. Compared to other parts of the tire, the sidewall is more susceptible to aging and cracking due to sunlight, heat, oxygen, and ozone. Therefore, the sidewall has higher requirements for aging resistance. At the same time, the sidewall is the part of the tire subjected to extremely frequent flexural deformation, and should have excellent resistance to flexural cracking. Therefore, developing high-performance, low-cost, aging-resistant, and flexural-resistant rubber materials is essential and can generate significant economic and social benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to improve the aging resistance and flexural strength of tire sidewall rubber while reducing production costs. It employs a compound of natural rubber and butadiene rubber, modified with a self-made aging-resistant and flexural-strength elastomer, carbon black, silica, cellulose, high-temperature insoluble sulfur, anti-reversion agent, environmentally friendly aromatic oil, microcrystalline wax HG75, accelerator, nano zinc oxide, stearic acid, and antioxidants. This modification ensures both the aging resistance and flexural crack resistance of the tire sidewall rubber, as well as good fatigue resistance. The required materials are inexpensive and readily available, the preparation process is simple, and the resulting product exhibits outstanding flexural crack resistance and excellent aging resistance.

[0005] In one aspect, this application provides a composition for preparing rubber, comprising, by weight: 100 parts raw rubber, 5-15 parts (e.g., 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 parts) of a self-made aging-resistant and flexural-resistant elastomer, 20-30 parts (e.g., 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 parts) of carbon black, 6-9 parts (e.g., 6, 7, 8, or 9 parts) of silica, 3 parts of cellulose, 1.5-2 parts (e.g., 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, or 2 parts) of high-temperature insoluble sulfur HDOT-20, 1-2 parts (e.g., 1, 1.5, or 2 parts) of an anti-reversion agent, 4-8 parts (e.g., 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 parts) of environmentally friendly aromatic oil V500, and HG75 microcrystalline wax. 2 parts, 1.5 to 2.5 parts of accelerator (e.g., 1.5, 2 or 2.5 parts), 2 to 4 parts of nano zinc oxide (e.g., 2, 3 or 4 parts), 2 to 3 parts of stearic acid (e.g., 2, 2.5 or 3 parts), and 3 to 4 parts of antioxidant (e.g., 3, 3.5 or 4 parts).
