Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rubber composition. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, rubber compositions containing a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant (for example, N-phenyl-N'-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD)) as an antioxidant have been known (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-046554 [Non-patent literature]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Science,2021,371,6525,185-189 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] On the other hand, there are concerns about environmental pollution due to 6PPD quinone (see below) generated by quinonization of 6PPD (Non-Patent Document 1).

[0006] [ka]

[0007] Furthermore, in recent years, with the increasing demand for higher safety levels, there has been a demand for further improvement in the anti-aging properties of rubber products such as tires.

[0008] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a rubber composition containing a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant, in which the phenylenediamine-based antioxidant is unlikely to form quinones (excellent quinone formation prevention properties) and the rubber composition has excellent antiaging properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] As a result of extensive investigations into the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by blending a specific compound in a predetermined amount, thereby completing the present invention. That is, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by the following configuration.

[0010] (1) 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber; 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant; and a compound represented by formula (1) described below, A rubber composition, wherein a molar ratio of the compound to the phenylenediamine-based antioxidant is 0.1-3. (2) The rubber composition according to the above (1), wherein at least one of R1 and R3 in the above formula (1) is an electron-donating group. (3) The rubber composition according to the above (1) or (2), wherein in the above formula (1), R2 is an electron-withdrawing group or an aromatic ring. Effect of the Invention

[0011] As described below, according to the present invention, there can be provided a rubber composition containing a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant, in which the phenylenediamine-based antioxidant is unlikely to form quinones (excellent quinone formation prevention property) and the rubber composition has excellent antiaging property. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] The rubber composition of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, a numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits. In addition, each component may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When two or more components are used in combination, the content of the components refers to the total content unless otherwise specified. In addition, excellent anti-quinonization properties and anti-aging properties and large breaking elongation are also referred to as "having excellent effects of the present invention."

[0013] The rubber composition of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the composition of the present invention") is 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber; 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant; Contains a compound represented by formula (1) described below (hereinafter also referred to as a "specific compound"); The molar ratio of the compound to the phenylenediamine-based antioxidant is 0.1-3 in the rubber composition.

[0014] It is believed that the composition of the present invention has such a structure and therefore solves the above-mentioned problems. The reason for this is not clear, but is thought to be roughly as follows.

[0015] Diene rubbers are known to be degraded by radicals. Here, when radicals are generated in the composition of the present invention, the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent contained in the composition reacts with the radicals, deactivates the radicals, and is considered to suppress the deterioration of the diene rubber. On the other hand, when the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent reacts with the radicals, it becomes a diimine by oxidation and cannot react with the radicals any more. In this case, when the amount of radicals generated is large, the suppression of the deterioration of the diene rubber may be insufficient. In contrast, the composition of the present invention contains a predetermined amount of the specific compound relative to the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent, and it is believed that the mercapto group of the specific compound reacts with the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent that has become a diimine, thereby regenerating hydrogen atoms for the nitrogen atoms of the diimine, thereby restoring the antiaging properties. Furthermore, it is considered that the specific compound reacts with the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent to form a ring structure by applying energy such as heating. Specifically, the reaction proceeds as shown in the following reaction formula. In the following reaction formula, only an aromatic ring having two secondary amines as substituents is shown for the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent. In addition, for the specific compound, R1 to R3 in formula (1) are omitted. In addition, in the following reaction formula, a five-membered ring is finally formed, but in some cases a six-membered ring may be formed.

[0016] [ka]

[0017] In this way, the specific compound reacts with the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent to form a ring structure, and the quinone formation sites of the phenylenediamine-based antiaging agent disappear, so it is presumed that the composition of the present invention also has excellent quinone formation prevention properties.

[0018] Each component contained in the composition of the present invention will be described below.

EXAMPLES

[0049] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0050] [Quinonization prevention property] The quinone-preventing properties of phenylenediamine-based antioxidants were evaluated when they reacted with specific compounds.

[0051] [Experimental Example 1] First, a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant (N-phenyl-N'-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine) (6PPD) was oxidized with an oxidizing agent. This simulated a reaction with radicals generated in a rubber composition. Next, compound 1 (a compound represented by formula (1), in which R1 is a methoxy group, and R2 and R3 are hydrogen atoms) (corresponding to a specific compound) was mixed and reacted. The mixture was then heated (150°C).

[0052] After the reaction, 6PPD was subjected to NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) measurement to determine the proportion of either or both of the protons at position a (see below) and the protons at position b (see below) of 6PPD remaining (6C quinone sites). As a result, the proportion of 6C quinone sites was 42%. The lower this proportion, the more difficult it is to quinone.

[0053] [ka]

[0054] [Experimental Example 2] The experiment was carried out in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, except that compound 2 (a compound represented by formula (1), in which R1 and R3 are hydrogen atoms and R2 is a methyl ester group (CH3-O-CO-)) (corresponding to a specific compound) was used instead of compound 1. As a result, the 6C quinone site was 17%.

[0055] Comparative Experimental Example 1 An experiment was carried out in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, except that Comparative Compound 1 (a compound represented by formula (1), in which R1 to R3 are hydrogen atoms) (not a specific compound) was used instead of Compound 1. As a result, the 6C quinone site was 80%.

[0056] [Production of rubber composition] The components in Table 1 below were mixed in the composition (parts by mass) shown in the same table. Specifically, first, the components other than sulfur and the vulcanization accelerator in Table 1 were mixed in a 1.8 L internal mixer at 130°C for 5 minutes, and a master batch was discharged. Then, sulfur and the vulcanization accelerator were added to the master batch, and the mixture was mixed at 80°C using an open roll to produce each rubber composition. In Table 1, the values ​​in parentheses for SBR are the net parts by mass of rubber (parts by mass excluding oil).

[0057] [Retention rate] Each of the obtained rubber compositions (unvulcanized) was press-vulcanized in a mold (15 cm × 15 cm × 0.2 cm) at 150°C for 30 minutes to produce a vulcanized rubber sheet. Then, in accordance with JIS K6251:2010, JIS No. 3 dumbbell-shaped test pieces (thickness 2 mm) were punched out and evaluated for breaking elongation at a temperature of 20°C and a tensile speed of 500 mm / min. In addition, the vulcanized rubber sheet prepared as described above was subjected to an aging test (left in an environment of 80°C for 168 hours (2 weeks)), and then the breaking elongation was evaluated in the same manner. Then, the breaking elongation retention rate (breaking elongation after aging test / breaking elongation before aging test×100) (%) was calculated. The results (retention rate) are shown in Table 1. From the viewpoint of anti-aging properties, the retention rate is preferably 85% or more.

[0058] [Table 1]

[0059] Details of each component in Table 1 are as follows.

[0060] ·SBR: TUFDENE E581 (SBR, oil extended product (oil extended amount: 37.5% by mass), manufactured by Asahi Kasei Chemicals) BR: Nipol BR1220 (BR, manufactured by Zeon Corporation) Silica: Zeosil 1165MP (Silica, CTAB adsorption specific surface area: 152m 2 / g, manufactured by Rhodia) Carbon black: Show Black N234 (manufactured by Showa Cabot Corporation) Silane coupling agent: Si69 (bis(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide, manufactured by Evonik Degussa) Zinc oxide: 3 types of zinc oxide (manufactured by Seido Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) Stearic acid: Beads Stearic Acid YR (manufactured by NOF Corporation) Phenylenediamine-based antioxidant: N-phenyl-N′-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) Anti-aging agent RD: Nonflex RD (Seiko Chemical Co., Ltd.) Process oil: Process oil Comparative Compound 1 and Compounds 1-2: Comparative Compound 1 and Compounds 1-2 described above, respectively. Sulfur: Oil-treated sulfur (Karuizawa Refinery Co., Ltd.) Vulcanization accelerator CBBS: Noccela CZ (Ouchi Shinko Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) Vulcanization accelerator DPG: Noccela DPG (1,3-diphenylguanidine, manufactured by Ouchi Shinko Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.)

[0061] In Table 1, the column "boiling point" indicates the boiling points of the compounds used in each example (comparative compound 1, compounds 1 and 2).

[0062] In addition, in Table 1, the column "Model 3-step rate-determining activation energy" shows the maximum activation energy [kcal] obtained by quantum chemical calculation (conditions: B3LYP / 6-31G) when the phenylenediamine antioxidant (6PPD) and the compounds used in each example (comparative compound 1, compounds 1-2) react as described above ((thio)Claisen rearrangement, thiol-ene reaction) to form a 5-membered ring. The above activation energy is expressed as an index, with the above activation energy when the compound is comparative compound 1 being set to 100. It is considered that the smaller this value, the more easily the above reaction proceeds.

[0063] In addition, in Table 1, the column "6C quinone sites" indicates the value of 6C quinone sites of the corresponding experimental examples (Experimental Examples 1 to 2, Comparative Experimental Example 1). Note that the reference example does not contain compound 1, etc., so the 6C quinone sites are 100%.

[0064] As shown in the above-mentioned Experimental Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Experimental Example 1, Experimental Examples 1 and 2 using Compounds 1 and 2 (Specific Compounds) had fewer 6C quinone conversion sites compared to Comparative Experimental Example 1 using Comparative Compound 1. From this, it can be said that, compared to Comparative Example 1 using a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant and Comparative Compound 1 in combination, Examples 1 and 2 using a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant and Compounds 1 and 2 (Specific Compounds) in combination make it difficult for the phenylenediamine-based antioxidant to undergo quinone conversion (excellent quinone conversion prevention properties).

[0065] Furthermore, as can be seen from Table 1, Examples 1 and 2, which used a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant in combination with Compounds 1 and 2 (specific compounds), showed excellent antiaging properties, compared with Reference Example, which used only a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant, and Comparative Example 1, which used a phenylenediamine-based antioxidant in combination with Comparative Compound 1. This is believed to be due to the fact that Comparative Compound 1 has a low boiling point and is therefore evaporated out of the rubber composition system during the mixing and vulcanization steps before reacting with the phenylenediamine-based antioxidant that has been oxidized to a diimine structure.
