Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rubber, specifically to a rubber processing modified masterbatch and its preparation method and application, rubber compositions, vulcanized rubber and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The comfort of the sole directly affects the overall quality of the shoe. Many international brands produce soles that give people a comfortable, high-end, and fashionable feeling.

[0003] In existing technologies, shoe soles are mostly made of materials such as PVC, TPR, and TPU. These materials are not as comfortable or slip-resistant as rubber soles.

[0004] In existing technologies, silica is widely used as a primary reinforcing filler in footwear. It not only provides excellent abrasion resistance, slip resistance, and adhesion to the upper, but also enables the production of colored rubber soles. It is widely used in both light-colored and colored soles (including outsoles, midsoles, and welts). Therefore, the footwear industry has always been a major user of silica.

[0005] Due to the strong surface polarity of silica, its dispersion in rubber matrices becomes exceptionally difficult, thus limiting its application to some extent.

[0006] CN105440341A discloses an anti-slip shoe sole material. This invention discloses the application of silica in shoe sole materials. In this invention, silica is improved by adding silane coupling agents. The silane coupling agents used are sulfur-containing compounds. During the high-temperature mixing process, the process control requirements are high. If the control is not properly controlled, it may cause scorching, which will affect the overall performance of the composite material.

[0007] CN104311918A discloses a composite material wear-resistant shoe sole. This invention utilizes silica grafted with toluene diisocyanate to improve the dispersibility of silica in a rubber matrix. Although the silica modification process can change the polarity of silica and increase the contact force with rubber, the process is relatively complex and consumes a lot of energy and materials.

[0008] The existing technology described above cannot fully meet the requirements of high strength, abrasion resistance, and good resilience for white shoe soles containing silica formulations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a rubber composition with improved performance. Summary of the Invention

[0130] The results above show that using the rubber processing modified masterbatch provided by the present invention can improve the dispersion of silica in the rubber matrix and enhance the interaction between silica and the rubber matrix, thereby enabling the further vulcanized rubber to have high strength, high wear resistance, and high resilience. Furthermore, the vulcanized rubber of the present invention has a lower compression temperature, indicating that it has strong flexural resistance.

[0133] Furthermore, comparing the data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that when the same rubber composition formulation as in Example 1 is used, but the rubber processing modifier is added in a different manner, the vulcanized rubber DS2 prepared further is significantly inferior to vulcanized rubber S1 in terms of performance. S1 has higher strength, abrasion resistance, resilience and flexural strength.

[0134] Since the rubber processing modification masterbatch and preparation method provided by the present invention can make the obtained vulcanized rubber have better performance, when the vulcanized rubber of the present invention is applied to shoe materials, the abrasion resistance, durability and comfort of the shoe materials can be improved.

[0135] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
