Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rubber tire additives preparation technology, and in particular to the application of heterocyclic polyhydrazide compounds in the preparation of additives that reduce tire rolling resistance. Background Technology

[0002] Tire rolling resistance (RR) is closely related to vehicle fuel economy, carbon emissions, and overall vehicle energy efficiency. The core of materials and formulation approaches to reduce rolling resistance lies in minimizing energy loss (hysteresis loss) during cyclic deformation of the rubber compound. In formulation evaluation, the industry widely uses the dynamic mechanical loss factor tanδ as an indicator: a higher tanδ at 0°C is beneficial for wet grip performance, while a lower tanδ at 60–70°C generally indicates lower rolling resistance. This point has been clearly explained and applied in relevant Chinese patent literature on silicone-containing rubber compositions. Such literature also emphasizes the importance of reducing high-temperature tanδ without significantly sacrificing abrasion resistance and fracture resistance (e.g., by controlling filler particle size, dosage, and interfacial chemistry).

[0003] To achieve the balance between low rolling resistance and high wear resistance, the industry primarily employs the following technical approaches: ① highly dispersed silica (SiO2) / silane coupling systems; ② optimizing the silica system and its surface chemistry; ③ introducing low-molecular-weight functionalized additives into the rubber compound to enhance the chemical / physical interaction between the polymer and filler. The first type of technology is represented by silica-containing systems, which typically utilize silane coupling agents to improve the interfacial adhesion between SiO2 and the polymer and suppress the high hysteresis caused by the three-dimensional network of the filler. However, relying solely on silica-containing systems often limits the formulation processing window, vulcanization kinetics, and compatibility costs, and balancing the overall performance under different road surfaces and working conditions remains challenging.

[0004] For carbon black reinforcement systems, a key approach in recent years has been to introduce "bridging" small-molecule additives that can interact with the active sites on the carbon black surface and form interactions with rubber segments / vulcanization networks. This aims to reduce the energy loss from carbon black agglomeration and friction between the carbon black and rubber / polymer ends, thereby reducing hysteresis losses. One of the earliest publicly disclosed representative technologies abroad is the use of "hydrazide" low-molecular-weight additives: EP0909788B1 proposes incorporating 0.05–20 parts (preferably 0.05–5 parts for the tread portion) of an hydrazide compound into rubber compounds primarily composed of natural rubber / diene-based synthetic rubber, combined with 30–70 parts of carbon black, to effectively reduce heat generation and rolling resistance. Chinese patent CN101842393A proposes a scheme for "direct modification of natural rubber raw materials with acylhydrazine compounds having polar groups". This involves reacting acylhydrazine compounds with polar groups with natural rubber (including natural latex curds / cup gum, etc.) to introduce polar sites near the main molecular chain, which significantly improves the affinity and dispersion of fillers such as carbon black / silica, thereby achieving comprehensive improvement in low heat generation (low loss coefficient), wear resistance and fracture performance.

[0005] Existing acylhydrazine-based rolling resistance reducers mainly focus on the structural paradigm of "aromatic ring, single acylhydrazine fragment" (e.g., EP0909788B1), or compounds that, while emphasizing "multipolar aromatic groups," are still dominated by "monoacylhydrazine groups" (e.g., CN109563316A). When these molecules interact with carbon black / SiO2, they typically provide a "single-point" acylhydrazine-surface / rubber interaction site. Although the interaction strength can be enhanced by increasing the number of polar groups, their ability to "achieve multi-point anchoring and synergistic interfacial network reconstruction at the microscale" remains limited. Summary of the Invention

[0072] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for mixing the rubber composition, the method comprising the following steps:

[0073] First stage of plasticizing: Add raw rubber, press with a roller, hold for 30 seconds, add carbon black, press with a roller, hold for 30 seconds, and discharge the rubber at 140-150℃;

[0074] Second stage of mixing: Add the first stage of plasticized rubber and the remaining reinforcing filler material, press and mix to 115℃-125℃, add the remaining compounding agents, press and mix for 25-35 seconds, lift and clean, then press and mix to 155℃-165℃ to discharge the rubber.

[0077] This invention, by employing the aforementioned technical solution, introduces 2–5 carboxylic acid hydrazide groups onto the same heterocyclic skeleton (3–6-membered rings containing N / O / S), forming a "multi-site anchoring" structure that can interact at multiple points with oxygen-containing functional groups and rubber segments on the surface of carbon black / fumed silica. This significantly reduces the relative slippage and frictional energy consumption between fillers and between fillers and polymers even at low dosages (preferably 0.2–1.0 phr), manifested as a reduction in the Payne effect in the small strain region, a significant decrease in G” / tanδ@60℃ (approximately 10–40% relative to the blank), and a reduction in thermal heat generation. Simultaneously, the synergistic adsorption / hydrogen bond network of the heterocyclic π-skeleton and polyhydrazide is beneficial for improving the macro- and micro-dispersion and bounding properties of carbon black (N234 / N330 / N375) or fumed silica. The rubber ratio, while maintaining or slightly increasing tanδ@0℃, also ensures wet grip, and has minimal impact on Mooney viscosity, scorch safety, and vulcanization curve disturbance. Mechanical properties and DIN abrasion resistance are basically maintained within ±10% of the control. This additive is compatible with conventional activators / accelerators / vulcanizing agents and is suitable for three-stage mixing (preferably added in the later stage of the second stage). Thus, without changing the main system and process, it can significantly reduce tire rolling resistance and achieve a balanced improvement in overall performance. Attached Figure Description

[0160] IV. Comprehensive Data Table

[0161] Table 1 Key Dynamic Viscoelasticity and Interface Dispersion Related Indicators

[0162]

[0163] illustrate:

[0164] 1. The tanδ@60℃ data directly reflects the rolling resistance trend. The samples of this invention are significantly lower than the blank and commercial control; and decrease stepwise with the increase of dosage.

[0165] 2. The Payne effect (ΔG′) continuously decreases, indicating the weakening of the filler network and the improvement of dispersion; the BoundRubber increases, indicating the enhanced interaction between the filler and rubber interface—consistent with the mechanism of the decrease in tanδ.

[0166] 3. tanδ@0℃ remains basically flat (±1–2%), indicating no adverse effects on wet gripping; Mooney / mechanical / DIN values ​​remain within ±10% of the control, demonstrating acceptable processing and abrasion resistance.

[0167] V. Technical Conclusions

[0168] 1. Significant drag reduction at low dosages: At 0.5 phr, heterocyclic dihydrazides (pyridine / furan) reduced drag by 12.9–15.3% compared to the blank, which was superior to the commercial control (-8.9%). When the dosage was increased to 1.0–2.0 phr, the drag reduction further increased to 22.9–30.2%.

[0169] 2. The interface mechanism was confirmed by multiple indicators: synchronous with tanδ@60℃, ΔG′ continued to decrease and BoundRubber continued to increase, indicating that the "multi-site anchoring" of polyhydrazide + heterocyclic π skeleton effectively weakens the energy consumption of filler network and interface slip.

[0170] 3. Good performance balance: tanδ@0℃ basically does not decrease (wet grip maintains), Mooney / mechanical / DIN are within ±10% of the control, indicating that processing safety and service strength are not compromised.

[0171] The above description illustrates application examples of the present invention. Through this explanation, those skilled in the art will be able to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these application examples will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein may be implemented in other application examples without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
