Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rubber synthesis technology, and more specifically, to an integrated functionalized itaconic acid ester / butadiene / isoprene bio-based rubber, its vulcanizate, and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The applicant disclosed high molecular weight isoprene-based itaconic acid ester rubber in "A method for preparing itaconic acid ester / isoprene copolymer type bioengineering rubber raw rubber by low temperature emulsion polymerization" (CN102558437A); and disclosed butadiene-based itaconic acid ester rubber with better comprehensive performance in "An itaconic acid ester / butadiene copolymer type bio-based engineering rubber and its preparation method" (CN104945817A).

[0003] With the implementation of the dual-carbon strategy, the importance of developing bio-based rubber is self-evident. However, the bio-based production of rubber raw materials is only the beginning; the final material performance is also indispensable. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a key test in the tire industry for evaluating the dynamic performance of materials. It can obtain the relationship between the material's loss factor (tanδ) and the test temperature. For rubber composites used in treads, a larger tanδ value at 0℃ indicates better wet skid resistance and better driving and braking safety in tires made from this material; a smaller tanδ value at 60℃ indicates lower rolling resistance and better fuel economy in tires made from this material. However, balancing these two factors simultaneously has long been a challenge for the tire industry. Summary of the Invention

[0143] Table 2

[0144]

[0145] Note: Since the elongation at break of Comparative Example 5 did not reach 300%, the corresponding data for its 300% constant elongation strength in the table were not measured.

[0146] For rubber composites used in tire treads, a larger tanδ value at 0℃ indicates better wet skid resistance and improved braking safety in tires made from this material; a smaller tanδ value at 60℃ indicates lower rolling resistance and better fuel economy in tires made from this material. Table 2 shows that the dynamic mechanical properties of the integrated functionalized itaconic acid ester / butadiene / isoprene bio-based rubber composite prepared in this invention can be controlled by adjusting the itaconic acid ester side group length and the ratio of butadiene and isoprene monomers. Specifically, the introduction of isoprene units significantly improves wet skid resistance while maintaining relatively stable rolling resistance; as the itaconic acid ester side group length decreases, wet skid resistance improves, but rolling resistance increases. Based on this control relationship, selecting appropriate side group lengths and isoprene dosages can regulate the dynamic mechanical properties of the composite material.

[0147] Compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the bio-based rubber of this invention exhibits significantly improved wet skid resistance and rolling resistance. When compared with NR and ESBR, its wet skid resistance is significantly superior, and its overall performance is comparable to functionalized solution styrene-butadiene rubber (SSBR). This demonstrates that the integrated functionalized bio-based rubber structure provided in this study can possess both high wet skid resistance and low rolling resistance, offering insights for the design of next-generation novel bio-based rubbers for tire treads.
