[0010] The rubber composition for tires and the like 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. 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. Furthermore, with regard to a rubber composition for tires, the wet grip performance and rolling resistance characteristics when made into a tire are also simply referred to as "wet grip performance" and "rolling resistance characteristics", respectively.

[0011] [I] Rubber composition for tires The rubber composition for tires of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "the composition of the present invention") is The rubber composition contains 100 parts by mass of a rubber component containing styrene-butadiene rubber, a resin, and 10 to 300 parts by mass of silica, The resin has a ratio of aromatic hydrocarbon-derived protons determined by an NMR method of 20% or more and a parameter S described below of 300 or more, In the rubber composition for tires, the content of the resin relative to the content of the styrene-butadiene rubber is 1 to 200 mass %.

[0012] It is believed that the composition of the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problems because of its structure. The reason for this is not clear, but is presumed to be as follows. As described above, the composition of the present invention contains a predetermined amount of a resin (hereinafter also referred to as a "specific resin") having a ratio of aromatic hydrocarbon-derived protons of 20% or more, as determined by NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) method, and a parameter S (described below) of 300 or more, relative to styrene-butadiene rubber (hereinafter also referred to as "SBR"). The specific resin has a structure similar to SBR because the ratio of protons derived from aromatic hydrocarbons (hereinafter also referred to as "aromatic proton ratio") is 20% or more. The specific resin has a parameter S (hereinafter also referred to as the "S value") described below of 300 or more. Here, the S value is a parameter related to the retention coefficient (for peaks with a retention coefficient of 6 or less) and area ratio in a total ion chromatogram (hereinafter also referred to as the "TIC") obtained by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (hereinafter also referred to as "pyrolysis GC-MS") using a packing material (structure shown below) similar in structure to SBR, and represents the retention of the monomers that make up the resin to the packing material. Since the specific resin has an S value equal to or greater than a specific value, it is considered to have extremely high compatibility with SBR.

[0013] [ka]

[0014] As a result, in the composition of the present invention, the rubber component containing SBR and the specific resin are compatible to an extremely high degree, which is thought to lead to excellent wet grip performance and rolling resistance characteristics.

[0015] Each component contained in the composition of the present invention will be described below.

[0016] [1] Rubber component The composition of the present invention contains a rubber component comprising styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). The rubber component may contain a rubber component other than SBR. The rubber component may be modified with an alkoxy group, an alkoxysilyl group, or the like.

[0017] [SBR] SBR is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene.

[0018] [Styrene content] The styrene content of SBR is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 50% by mass, more preferably 20 to 45% by mass, for reasons of better effects of the present invention. Here, the styrene content refers to the proportion (% by mass) of repeating units derived from styrene relative to the total SBR.

[0019] [Vinyl unit content] The vinyl unit content of SBR is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 to 60 mol %, more preferably 20 to 50 mol %, for reasons of better effects of the present invention. Here, the vinyl unit content refers to the proportion (mol %) of repeating units of 1,2-vinyl unit bonds among repeating units derived from butadiene in SBR.

[0020] [Glass transition temperature] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of SBR is not particularly limited, but in order to achieve better effects of the present invention, it is preferably −85° C. to −10° C., and more preferably −50° C. to −20° C. The glass transition temperature can be adjusted, for example, by the styrene content or the vinyl unit content. In this specification, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) at a temperature rise rate of 10° C. / min and calculated by the midpoint method.

[0021] [Content] The content of SBR in the rubber component is preferably 10% by mass or more, more preferably 30% by mass or more, and even more preferably 50% by mass or more, because the effects of the present invention are more excellent. The rubber component may be composed of only SBR. Multiple SBRs may be used in combination.

[0022] [Other rubber components] The rubber component may contain rubber components other than SBR (other rubber components). Examples of such other rubber components include natural rubber (NR), isoprene rubber (IR), butadiene rubber (BR), acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR), halogenated butyl rubber (Br-IIR, Cl-IIR), and chloroprene rubber (CR). Of these, NR and BR are preferred because they provide better effects of the present invention.

[0023] [Average Tg] The glass transition temperature of the rubber component as a whole (hereinafter also referred to as "average Tg") is not particularly limited, but for reasons of superior effects of the present invention, it is preferably from -100°C to -20°C, and more preferably from -80°C to -20°C. Here, the average Tg of the rubber component is the sum (weighted average value of glass transition temperatures) obtained by multiplying the glass transition temperature (Tg) of each rubber component by the mass fraction of each rubber component.

[0024] [Molecular weight] The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the rubber component is preferably 100,000 to 10,000,000, and more preferably 300,000 to 3,000,000, for the reason that the effects of the present invention are more excellent.

It is preferable that the Mw and / or Mn of at least one rubber component contained in the rubber component falls within the above range, and it is more preferable that the Mw and / or Mn of all rubber components contained in the rubber component fall within the above range. In this specification, Mw and Mn are values ​​calculated as standard polystyrene obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement under the following conditions. Solvent: Tetrahydrofuran Detector: RI detector

[0025] [2] Specific resin The composition of the present invention contains a resin (specific resin) having a ratio of aromatic hydrocarbon-derived protons (aromatic proton ratio) of 20% or more as determined by NMR and a parameter S (S value) described below of 300 or more.

[0026] [Aromatic proton ratio] The aromatic proton ratio of the specific resin is 20% or more. The aromatic proton ratio is preferably 22% or more, more preferably 24% or more, even more preferably 26% or more, and particularly preferably 28% or more, because the effects of the present invention are more excellent. There is no particular upper limit to the ratio, but because the effects of the present invention are more excellent, it is preferably 80% or less, and more preferably 50% or less.

[0027] The aromatic proton ratio is determined as follows. Resin is dissolved in a solvent 1 The H-NMR spectrum is measured. In the spectrum, the ratio of the area of ​​the peaks of protons derived from aromatic hydrocarbons (aromatic rings) to the total area of ​​the peaks of protons derived from the resin is calculated, and this is taken as the aromatic proton ratio. For example, when the resin is a styrene polymer (polystyrene), the aromatic proton ratio is the ratio of the peak area of ​​protons derived from benzene rings to the sum of the peak areas of protons derived from polystyrene.

[0028] [S value] The specific resin has a parameter S (S value) of 300 or more.

[0029]

number

[0030] where k n represents the retention coefficient of the nth peak from the smallest retention time in the total ion chromatogram obtained by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry of the resin, and α represents the retention coefficient of the nth peak from the smallest retention time in the total ion chromatogram obtained by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry of the resin, and k n represents the n above of the peak with the maximum retention factor of ≦6.0, and A n is k n It represents the ratio (%) of the area of ​​the nth peak to the total area of ​​peaks that satisfy the condition ≦6.0.

[0031] The S value is preferably 330 or more, and more preferably 350 or more, because the effects of the present invention are more excellent. There is no particular upper limit to the S value, but the S value is preferably 500 or less, and more preferably 400 or less, because the effects of the present invention are more excellent.

[0032] The pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (pyrolysis GC-MS) is carried out under the following conditions.

[0033] (conditions) - Instrument name: Shimadzu GCMS-QP2020 Pyrolysis equipment name: Frontier Labs Double Shot Pyrolyzer PY-2020iD ·Thermal decomposition temperature: 550℃ ·Inlet temperature: 320℃ Column used: 5% diphenyldimethl polysiloxane (GL Sciences UA-5) Column size: Length 30m, inner diameter 0.25mm, film thickness 0.25μm Method (column temperature conditions): 70°C (3 min) → 10°C / min heating (25 min) → Final temperature 320°C Carrier gas: Ultra-high purity helium gas (total flow rate: 104 mL / min, column flow rate: 1 mL / min) ·Injection volume: 1μL

[0034] A specific example of how to calculate the S value is shown below. 1 shows a total ion chromatogram (TIC) obtained by pyrolysis GC-MS of Resin A, which will be described later. The pyrolysis GC-MS conditions were as described above. As shown in Figure 1, the TIC of Resin A has two peaks. The retention factor k1 of the peak with the shortest retention time (the left peak) is 1.7, and the retention factor k2 of the peak with the second shortest retention time (the right peak) is 2.8. Since the retention factors of both peaks are 6.0 or less, k nThe peak with the largest retention factor that satisfies ≦6.0 is the right peak. Because the right peak is the second peak from the shortest retention time, α in the parameter S is 2. Furthermore, the ratio A1 of the area of ​​the left peak to the sum of the areas of the two peaks is 40(%), and the ratio A2 of the area of ​​the right peak to the sum of the areas of the two peaks is 60(%). Therefore, the S value of Resin A is calculated as 1.7×40+2.8×60=236.

[0035] One example of a method for achieving an S value of 300 or greater is to polymerize a resin using a monomer containing an aromatic hydrocarbon having a polymerizable group, and increase the proportion of components in the aromatic hydrocarbons that have a high retention coefficient (the aforementioned retention coefficient) (preferably components with a retention coefficient of 2 or greater, more preferably components with a retention coefficient of 3 or greater). To enhance the effects of the present invention, the proportion is preferably 50% by mass or greater, more preferably 70% by mass or greater, and even more preferably 90% by mass or greater. The upper limit of the proportion is not particularly limited, and is 100% by mass. Since aliphatic hydrocarbons are likely to decompose at the decomposition temperature (550°C) of the pyrolysis GC-MS described above, the presence of aliphatic hydrocarbons in the monomers that make up the resin is thought to have little effect on the S value.

[0036] [Preferred embodiment] The monomer constituting the specific resin preferably contains an aromatic hydrocarbon having a polymerizable group (for example, a vinyl group, an isopropenyl group, etc.) because this provides a better effect of the present invention. Specific examples of the aromatic hydrocarbon include styrene, α-methylstyrene, vinyltoluene, isopropenyltoluene, indene, and methylindene.

[0063] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0064] [Production of rubber composition for tires] The components shown in Tables 1 and 2 below were blended in the proportions (parts by mass) shown in the tables. Specifically, first, the components except for sulfur and vulcanization accelerator were kneaded in a 1.7-liter internal mixer for 5 minutes, and then released when the temperature reached 150°C to obtain a master batch. Next, sulfur and vulcanization accelerator were kneaded into the obtained master batch using an open roll to obtain a rubber composition for tires. Note that the parts by mass in the SBR column indicate the net parts by mass of rubber in the SBR (parts by mass excluding extender oil).

[0065] [Wet grip performance and rolling resistance characteristics] The obtained rubber composition for tires was vulcanized at 170°C for 15 minutes using a mold of a predetermined shape (inner dimensions: length 150 mm, width 150 mm, thickness 2 mm) to prepare a vulcanized rubber sheet. The vulcanized rubber sheets were measured for tan δ at temperatures of 0°C and 60°C under conditions of an elongation deformation strain rate of 10%±2% and a vibration frequency of 20 Hz using a viscoelasticity spectrometer (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho, Ltd.) in accordance with JIS K6394:2007. Wet grip performance was evaluated from tan δ at 0°C, and rolling resistance characteristics were evaluated from tan δ at 60°C. The wet grip performance is shown in Tables 1 and 2 as an index (tan δ(0° C.)) with the value of Comparative Example 1 being 100. A larger index means better wet grip performance. In practice, an index of 100 or more is preferable. The rolling resistance properties are shown in Tables 1 and 2 as an index (tan δ(60°C)) with the value of Comparative Example 1 being 100. A smaller index means better rolling resistance properties (smaller rolling resistance). In practice, an index smaller than 100 is preferable.

[0071] [Summary of Tables 1 and 2] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, Examples 1 to 6, which contained the specific resin in a predetermined ratio relative to the SBR content, exhibited excellent wet grip performance and rolling resistance properties. Comparing Examples 1 to 3 (comparison of embodiments differing only in the type of specific resin), Examples 2 and 3, in which the specific resin had an S value of 330 or more, exhibited better wet grip performance and rolling resistance characteristics. In particular, Example 3, in which the specific resin had an S value of 350 or more, exhibited even better wet grip performance and rolling resistance characteristics. Furthermore, comparing Example 1, Example 5, and Example 6 (comparison of the embodiments in which Resin D was used as the specific resin), Examples 1 and 6, in which the specific resin / SBR content was 2% by mass or more, showed better wet grip performance. In particular, Example 1, in which the specific resin / SBR content was 50% by mass or less, showed better rolling resistance properties. Furthermore, a comparison between Example 1 and Example 4 (comparison between embodiments differing only in the type of silane coupling agent) showed that Example 4, in which the silane coupling agent was a specific polysiloxane, exhibited superior wet grip performance.

[0072] On the other hand, Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and 6, which contained a resin other than the specific resin instead of the specific resin, had insufficient wet grip performance. Comparative Examples 1 and 6 also had insufficient rolling resistance properties. Comparative Example 4, which contained the specific resin but no SBR, also had insufficient wet grip performance. Comparative Example 5, which did not contain silica, had insufficient rolling resistance properties. [Explanation of symbols]
