Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tire rubber manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a low-heat-generating, high-temperature-resistant base rubber composition, a mixing method, and a tire. Background Technology

[0002] Tires undergo cyclic compression-rebound-shear deformation during operation, especially at high speeds or under high loads. The dynamic excitation frequency of tire structural components can reach high levels, and the rubber material inevitably experiences hysteresis due to viscoelasticity, which is converted into heat. The base rubber, as one of the important rubber components inside the tire, is usually located adjacent to load-bearing structures such as the carcass and belt layers. It plays a role in stress transmission, deformation buffering, structural stability, and protection of the reinforcing material. The base rubber needs to possess sufficient modulus and tear resistance to inhibit structural fatigue and shoulder damage, while simultaneously minimizing heat generation and accumulation to avoid accelerated thermal aging, mechanical performance degradation, and early failure due to localized temperature rise. Therefore, for high-temperature (e.g., 60–80°C or even higher localized temperatures) dynamic conditions, achieving a synergistic improvement in "low heat generation + high-temperature resistance maintenance" while ensuring mechanical reinforcement and processing operability remains a key technical problem to be solved in tire base rubber formulation and process design.

[0003] To reduce the internal temperature rise of tires, a typical approach in existing technologies is to improve the thermal conductivity of the rubber compound to promote heat conduction and dissipation, thereby reducing heat accumulation. For example, Chinese patent document CN105384975A ​​discloses a low-heat-generating, high-thermal-conductivity engineering giant tire base rubber material and its preparation method. The formulation uses submicron-sized inorganic thermally conductive fillers combined with carbon nanotube bundles, and introduces components such as silane coupling agents. The base rubber composite material is prepared through processes such as intensive mixing, multiple feeding, and hot remelting, aiming to improve the internal thermal conductivity of the tire, reduce heat accumulation, and extend its service life. This approach is representative of the "enhanced thermal conductivity - reduced heat accumulation" path, but its focus is more on improving thermal conductivity to achieve cooling by using a high thermal conductivity filler system. In practical applications, high dosage of inorganic thermally conductive fillers often leads to problems such as increased formulation density, increased processing viscosity, and increased difficulty in controlling dispersion and interfacial compatibility. At the same time, "enhancing thermal conductivity" is not necessarily equivalent to "improving high-temperature modulus retention and reducing hysteresis loss". Under high-temperature dynamic deformation conditions, it may still face the challenge of balancing mechanical retention and low heat generation.

[0004] Another common approach to reducing heat generation focuses on designing reinforcements to improve filler dispersion and interfacial coupling. This involves improving filler-rubber interactions and reducing filler agglomeration and interfacial slippage to decrease hysteresis losses. For example, Chinese patent document CN116144084B discloses a low-heat-generating tire sidewall rubber composition and its mixing method. This composition uses a natural rubber / butadiene rubber blend system, introduces highly dispersible silica and silane coupling agents, and further adds specific reactive compounds to enhance the reactivity of silane and rubber double bonds, thereby strengthening the bond between silica and silane, and between silane and rubber. This alleviates the agglomeration problem of silica in the rubber and achieves a low-heat-generating effect while maintaining fatigue performance. This type of technology emphasizes reducing hysteresis loss through "filler dispersion and chemical coupling," which has practical significance in reducing heat generation. However, its main application is in components such as tire sidewalls, and its core lies in improving the interfacial chemistry of the silica system. For the modulus maintenance of the base rubber at higher temperature levels and the synergistic optimization of stronger high-temperature mechanical stability and lower hysteresis loss under specific filler systems, more targeted design is still needed, taking into account the working environment, stress state, and material structure of the base rubber.

[0005] In addition, existing technologies also improve the overall performance of tire component rubber compositions or the properties related to reinforcing materials by introducing hydrazide / diacylhydrazine compounds into the natural rubber matrix. For example, Chinese patent document CN102257055A relates to a rubber composition for tire components that do not come into contact with air or the gas being filled. It is based on natural rubber and contains reinforcing fillers and diacylhydrazine components to meet the comprehensive requirements of tire components in terms of stiffness, cohesion, and adhesion. This type of approach suggests that diacylhydrazine components can participate in the chemical action of the rubber system and affect the structure and properties of the rubber compound. However, its technical focus is more on the adhesion and overall balance of tire components (especially in areas related to the composite of reinforcing elements), and it does not provide a structural solution centered on nano-reinforcement and interfacial synergy for the "low heat generation and high-temperature mechanical retention" of the base rubber under high-temperature dynamic conditions. At the same time, existing disclosures still lack clear and directly reproducible systematic designs on how to achieve stable dispersion of nanofillers in an engineering-feasible mixing process and how to construct micro-reinforcing structures that are conducive to maintaining high-temperature modulus and reducing hysteresis loss.

[0006] In summary, while existing technologies offer several solutions from the perspectives of improving thermal conductivity, enhancing the coupling between silica-silane-rubber interfaces to reduce heat generation, and introducing dihydrazide compounds into natural rubber systems to improve the overall performance of components, they still generally have the following shortcomings or room for improvement: First, solutions relying solely on high thermal conductivity inorganic filler systems may impose processing and formulation burdens, and do not focus sufficiently on the synergistic improvement of "high-temperature modulus retention and hysteresis loss reduction"; Second, filler dispersion / coupling modification schemes for low heat generation are often geared towards components such as treads or sidewalls. When applied to the high-temperature load-bearing and buffering scenarios of the base rubber, the issue of mechanical attenuation and deformation amplification of the base rubber at high temperatures needs further consideration; Third, although dihydrazide compounds have been disclosed in tire rubber compositions, how to synergize with interfacial components such as nano-reinforcing fillers and organosilicon polysulfides to construct stable and effective reinforcing microstructures through industrially feasible mixing routes to suppress deformation, reduce hysteresis loss, and achieve low heat generation under high-temperature conditions still requires the development of comprehensive technical solutions that better meet the needs of the base rubber. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rubber composition and its mixing method that can simultaneously achieve low heat generation and improved high-temperature resistance under feasible process conditions, and is designed for high-temperature dynamic working conditions of tire base rubber.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

The amount of rubber A in the composition of this invention is 65 to 80 parts by weight (based on a total of 100 parts by weight of rubber A + rubber B).

[0023] 2. Rubber B: Refers to the rubber phase used in the preparation of nano-reinforced composite materials, and natural rubber (NR) is selected. The total weight of Rubber B and Rubber A is 100 parts.

[0024] 3. Filler A: refers to the reinforcing filler of the main phase of the base adhesive, which is selected from carbon black and / or silica; the carbon black can be one or two of N375, N330, N339, N347 and N326.

They can be selected from one or more of the following: γ-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, bis(3-mercaptopropyl)tetrasulfide, bis(3-mercaptopropyl)disulfide, mercaptoethyltriethoxysilane, mercaptopropylsiloxane copolymer, methylthiol silane, dimercaptoethylsilane, tetra(mercaptopropyl)silane, and bis(γ-triethoxysilylpropyl)sulfide.

[0027] 6. Diacylhydrazide compounds: These are compounds with the —CONHNHCO— structure, such as sebacic acid diacylhydrazide, which are used to react with aldehyde, carboxyl, carbonyl, and other groups produced at the ends or during oxidation of natural rubber.

[0028] 7. Low heat generation characterization index: In this embodiment, dynamic mechanical properties are used as the key indicator. (Loss factor at 60℃) and energy storage modulus at 60℃ As a typical evaluation indicator; The lower the value, the smaller the hysteresis loss and the lower the heat generation.

[0029] 8. Heterogeneous distribution of fillers / heterogeneous reinforcement structure: This refers to the two-stage blending of "nano-reinforced composite material (pre-dispersed masterbatch) + main phase masterbatch", which allows nano-fillers and some carbon black to preferentially accumulate in the composite material phase and disperse in the main phase masterbatch in the form of micro-regions, forming a multi-scale reinforcement structure of "hard phase micro-regions - soft phase continuous phase". Under high temperature dynamic deformation conditions, this improves the modulus and reduces the deformation amplitude, thereby reducing hysteresis loss.

[0031] III. Preparation methods of nano-reinforced composite materials The following describes a repeatable process for preparing nano-reinforced composite materials. The equipment can be an internal mixer (e.g., any size from 1.5L to 270L), with "rotor speed, time, and discharge temperature" as the key control elements.

[0032] Step B1: Device Setup Start the internal mixer and set the rotor speed to 30-45 rpm; the top bolt pressure is set according to the equipment's standard settings (e.g., 0.4-0.7 MPa), and the initial chamber temperature is controlled at 40-70℃.

[0033] Step B2: Feeding and Premixing After adding rubber B (natural rubber) and plasticizing for 10-20 seconds, add filler B and organosilicon polysulfides; mix for 25-40 seconds to allow the nanofiller to be initially wetted and dispersed in rubber B, while simultaneously enriching the organosilicon polysulfides at the interface.

[0034] Step B3: Add dihydrazide and complete the reactive dispersion. Add the dihydrazide compound and continue mixing for 1.0–2.5 minutes. During the mixing process, the discharge temperature is generally controlled at 110–140℃ (which can be adjusted according to the formula and equipment) to balance dispersion and avoid premature scorching.

[0035] Step B4: Degreasing and Parking After debinding, the material is passed through a two-roll mill 2-3 times to form a sheet. It is then left to stand at room temperature for ≥4 hours (or in accordance with the company's conventional rebound / stress release system) to obtain a nano-reinforced composite material (also known as "nano-reinforced masterbatch" or "nano-reinforced pre-dispersed adhesive").

[0036] By following the above-mentioned route of "first constructing nano-reinforced composite materials, and then combining them with the main phase masterbatch in a two-stage process", the effective dispersion and interfacial coupling efficiency of nanofillers can be significantly improved, enabling them to form a more stable multi-scale reinforcing micro-region structure in the final composition.

[0037] IV. Mixing Method of Low-Heat-Growth, High-Temperature-Resistant Base Rubber Composition The composition of this invention can be produced using a three-stage mixing process (two stages of masterbatch and final vulcanization). The following process parameters are illustrative and can be conventionally modified based on factors such as the internal mixer volume, top jack pressure, and cooling conditions.

[0038] (a) First stage of masterbatch (masterbatch 1) Start the internal mixer and set the rotor speed to 45-55 rpm. Add rubber A, filler A, activator (such as ZnO, stearic acid / zinc stearate), antioxidant, tear-resistant resin, and microcrystalline wax sequentially. Mix for 30-50 seconds, then perform a single-stage remixing for 20-30 seconds to improve filler wetting and dispersion. Continue remixing until the discharge temperature reaches 150-165℃ to obtain masterbatch 1. After discharge, the masterbatch can be thin-passed, sheeted, and cooled on an open mill to stabilize the temperature and stress of the rubber compound.

[0039] (ii) Second stage masterbatch (masterbatch 2) Start the internal mixer and set the rotor speed to 25-35 rpm; add masterbatch 1 and nano-reinforced composite material; mix for 30-50 seconds, then mix for 20-30 seconds with the plug lifted and pressed; continue mixing until the discharge temperature is 135-145℃ to discharge the masterbatch 2.

[0040] The purpose of this section is to achieve a uniform macroscopic distribution of nano-reinforced composite materials and main phase masterbatch without significantly damaging the nano-reinforced micro-region structure, thereby forming a heterogeneous reinforcing structure.

[0041] (III) Final Vulcanization (Finished Rubber) Start the internal mixer and set the rotor speed to 25–35 rpm; add masterbatch 2, vulcanizing agent (such as sulfur and accelerator system / or peroxide system), and scorch inhibitor CTP; mix for 30–50 seconds, then mix for 20–30 seconds with the plug lifted and pressed; control the discharge temperature at 105–115℃ to discharge the rubber, obtaining a low-heat-generating, high-temperature-resistant base rubber composition. The discharge temperature is controlled relatively low to reduce the risk of early vulcanization and processing scorch, and to ensure the effectiveness of the vulcanization system.

[0042] V. Vulcanization and Tire Preparation Vulcanization conditions can be determined using either a rotorless vulcanizer or a rotor vulcanizer. , The characteristic vulcanization time is determined, and the molding vulcanization or tire vulcanization regime is determined accordingly.

After being vulcanized by a tire vulcanizing machine, a low heat generation and high temperature resistant tire is obtained.
