AI Technical Summary
Existing reinforced rubber compositions for tires face challenges in maintaining adhesion to metal reinforcing cords while reducing the environmental impact of cobalt salts and sulfur content, and improving hysteresis properties and cracking resistance.
A composite material comprising a reinforcing element with a copper-zinc alloy surface, embedded in an elastomeric composition with a phenol/aldehyde resin system, uses a sulfur-crosslinked system with reduced cobalt content and phenol/aldehyde resin content below 10 phr, along with diene elastomers and reinforcing fillers like carbon black or silica, to enhance adhesion and durability.
The solution achieves improved adhesion, reduced hysteresis loss, and enhanced resistance to cracking, while minimizing environmental impact by reducing cobalt and sulfur content, thus maintaining tire performance and durability.
