Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tire manufacturing, specifically relating to a tire sidewall rubber composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in the background section of this invention is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] As a critical component directly exposed to the external environment, the tire sidewall is subjected to harsh environmental factors such as high temperature, ozone, and ultraviolet radiation for extended periods. This leads to the breakage, cross-linking, or oxidative degradation of rubber molecular chains, resulting in cracking and severely impacting tire lifespan and driving safety. Currently, the industry primarily slows down the aging process by adding antioxidants (such as amine compounds) and anti-ozone additives (such as protective waxes) to rubber formulations. However, existing technologies still have significant drawbacks: on the one hand, traditional amine antioxidants are prone to migration failure under high-temperature conditions, causing their protective effect to gradually diminish over time; on the other hand, the carbon distribution of protective waxes is difficult to maintain a constant migration rate across different temperature ranges, resulting in unstable protective effects. Furthermore, under the synergistic effect of ozone and ultraviolet radiation, the rubber surface is susceptible to photo-oxidation and ozone decomposition reactions, while existing additives have limited anti-aging properties, making it difficult to maintain the mechanical properties and weather resistance of rubber in the long term.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new rubber formulation that can significantly improve the tire sidewall’s protection against the combined effects of high temperature, ozone and ultraviolet radiation by optimizing the antioxidant system or introducing highly efficient and stable anti-aging components, while ensuring long-term durability, thereby meeting the tire industry’s demand for high-performance and long-life products.

[0076] Performance testing:

[0077] Test sample preparation standard: GB / T 2941 "General procedures for sample preparation and conditioning of physical test methods for rubber".

[0078] Tensile fatigue test method: GB / T 1688 "Determination of tensile fatigue of vulcanized rubber".

[0079] Tensile properties were tested in accordance with GB / T528-2009.

[0080] The vulcanization conditions are: 150℃ for 3 minutes.

[0081] Stress at constant elongation: The performance data of Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are expressed as an index, with the index value of Comparative Example 1 set to 100. For Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 2-5, the lower the value of 100, the lower the stress at constant elongation.

[0082] Elongation, tensile strength, and tensile fatigue: The performance data of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are expressed as indices, with the elongation index of Comparative Example 1 being 100. For Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 2-5, a higher value of 100 indicates a higher elongation.

[0083] Evaluation of stress data after high temperature aging: The performance data of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 after aging are compared with the data of the corresponding examples before aging. The higher the index, the greater the performance increase, which means that the performance is worse after aging.

[0084] Evaluation of elongation, tensile strength and tensile fatigue data after high temperature aging: The performance data of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 after aging are compared with the data of the corresponding examples before aging. The higher the index, the lower the performance decline and the better the performance is maintained after aging.

[0085] Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were all tested according to the above-described performance testing method. The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0086] Table 1

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] Compared to Comparative Example 1, Example 1 contained phenolic compounds and pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds. Before aging, Example 1 showed significantly improved elongation and tensile fatigue properties compared to Comparative Example 1, while its stress at a given elongation and tensile strength were comparable. Therefore, in its initial state, the product prepared in Example 1 possessed better flexibility and ductility, capable of withstanding greater deformation without failure, and exhibited superior fatigue resistance under cyclic loading of repeated stretching and relaxation.

[0090] After aging, the performance retention of Example 1 was significantly improved compared to Comparative Example 1. After aging treatment, Example 1 still maintained high mechanical properties, especially elongation, tensile strength and tensile fatigue properties, and had better durability and stability during long-term use, effectively resisting the damage to the rubber network structure caused by environmental factors.

[0091] Comparative Examples 2 and 3 contained pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds but no phenolic compounds. Compared to Comparative Example 1, Comparative Examples 2 and 3 showed lower stress at a given elongation and significantly higher elongation. This indicates that under the same tensile conditions, the materials of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 exhibit higher flexibility and ductility, capable of withstanding greater deformation without fracture. They also showed a significant advantage in tensile fatigue performance compared to Comparative Example 1, demonstrating superior fatigue resistance. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 showed a significant improvement in performance retention after aging compared to Comparative Example 1; after a certain period of aging, the materials of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 still maintained high mechanical properties, exhibiting better durability and stability.

[0092] Compared to Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 significantly improved the elongation and tensile fatigue properties of the rubber composite material by increasing the amount of pyrazolone heterocyclic compound added, while also improving the retention rate of various properties after aging treatment. However, this adjustment had a certain negative impact on the tensile strength of the material. Specifically, as the amount of pyrazolone heterocyclic compound added increased, its effect on the stress at a given elongation became more significant, and the improvement on elongation was also more pronounced.

[0093] Phenolic compounds were added to the products of Comparative Examples 4 and 5, but no pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds were added. Compared to Comparative Example 1, the elongation of Comparative Examples 4 and 5 was slightly reduced before aging, but other properties were comparable to those of Comparative Example 1. This indicates that in the initial state, although the elongation was slightly reduced, the overall performance was not significantly affected and remained at a level similar to the comparative example; after aging, the performance retention of Comparative Examples 4 and 5 was significantly improved compared to Comparative Example 1. After aging treatment, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 were able to better maintain their mechanical properties, exhibiting superior durability and stability.

[0094] Compared to Comparative Examples 2 and 3, Example 1 achieved a significant improvement in stress at a given elongation and tensile strength, effectively compensating for the deficiencies of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in these two performance indicators. Furthermore, compared to Comparative Example 1, Example 1 exhibited superior performance in elongation, tensile fatigue properties, and the retention rate of various properties after aging treatment, achieving a significant improvement. In addition, compared to Comparative Examples 4 and 5, Example 1 also achieved a significant improvement in elongation and tensile fatigue properties, compensating for the deficiencies of Comparative Examples 4 and 5 in these aspects.

[0095] Comparative analysis of Comparative Examples 2, 3, 4, and 5 with Example 1:

[0096] Comparative Examples 2 and 3, without the addition of phenolic compounds, exhibited better elongation and significantly lower stress at a given elongation than Example 1 in their initial state. However, after a period of aging treatment, Example 1 demonstrated superior durability and stability, while the performance of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 declined in comparison.

[0097] Comparative Examples 4 and 5, which did not contain pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds, exhibited lower elongation and fatigue properties than Example 1. Similarly, after a certain period of aging treatment, Example 1 demonstrated significantly better durability and stability than Comparative Examples 4 and 5.

[0098] In summary, pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds significantly improve the flexibility and ductility of composite materials, but have a significant impact on the tensile stress at a given elongation. The addition of phenolic compounds, however, does not negatively affect the tensile stress at a given elongation; on the contrary, it effectively compensates for the negative impact of pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds on the tensile stress at a given elongation, while significantly improving the durability and stability after aging treatment. When pyrazolone heterocyclic compounds and phenolic compounds are used together in the same formulation, they exhibit excellent synergistic effects, effectively compensating for the shortcomings of adding either compound individually, thereby comprehensively improving the overall performance of the composite material.

[0099] In summary, the combination of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and D-α-tocopherol in Example 1 demonstrates comprehensive performance optimization capabilities. Through synergistic effects, it achieves a balance between stress at a given elongation, elongation, and tensile fatigue properties, significantly improving the performance retention of the rubber composite material after aging. This provides an effective solution for the high-performance development of rubber composite materials.
