Efficient preparation process of high modulus graphene oxide / natural rubber uniformly cured solid load-bearing tire

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410067427.7, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on January 17, 2024, entitled "Efficient Preparation Process for High Modulus Graphene Oxide / Natural Rubber Uniformly Cured Solid Load-Bearing Tires," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to the technical field of graphene and functional natural rubber composite materials, and in particular to an efficient preparation process for a high-modulus graphene oxide / natural rubber uniformly cured solid load-bearing tire. Background Art

[0004] Rubber is an important strategic material with unique viscoelasticity and is widely used in industry and defense. Natural rubber (NR) has excellent elasticity, wear resistance, anti-aging properties and corrosion resistance, making it one of the ideal materials for preparing solid rubber tires. However, due to its low hardness, NR deforms greatly when subjected to external forces. On the one hand, it cannot carry heavy engineering equipment, and on the other hand, it is very easy to produce microcracks, leading to damage and failure, thereby reducing the service life of the tire. The commonly used method to solve this problem is to add inorganic fillers such as carbon black to improve the mechanical properties of NR composite materials. However, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, more stringent requirements are placed on the performance of rubber composite materials.

[0005] In order to further improve the performance of NR, nanoparticles such as ceramic particles, nanodiamonds, carbon nanotubes and graphene (GE) have become ideal fillers for reinforcing the rubber matrix due to their small size and large specific surface area. Among them, GE and its derivatives are considered to be the most ideal fillers for NR composites and are often used to improve mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical properties. As an important representative of GE derivatives, graphene oxide (GO) is rich in oxygen-containing groups such as hydroxyl, epoxy, carboxyl and carbonyl groups on its surface, which gives it hydrophilicity, making it easy to disperse evenly in natural rubber latex. At the same time, these oxygen functional groups are beneficial to improving the interfacial interaction between GO and the NR matrix. Therefore, it is widely used to reinforce modified rubber, thereby improving the safety, durability and performance of molded solid tires.

[0006] High-modulus rubber composites are widely used in rubber products such as tire apex rubber, automotive drive belts, and road wheels. As heavy-duty vehicles move toward heavier loads and higher speeds, the shear, tension, compression, and torsion forces on the road wheel rubber body become more intense. Consequently, solid rubber tires experience significant temperature rises during operation, making them susceptible to problems such as high-temperature cracking, chipping, and fragmentation. This is especially true when driving on complex surfaces, where solid rubber tires suffer from poor cut resistance. Therefore, solid tire tread compounds must possess a combination of excellent properties, including high modulus, low dynamic heat generation, high fatigue resistance, high strength, and tear resistance, to meet these requirements.

[0007] The degree of vulcanization in different parts of solid rubber tires, as well as the determination of the vulcanization time for thick products, have long been a focus of attention. Because rubber is a poor conductor of heat, as the thickness of the product increases, the rubber compound is not heated evenly and synchronously. This causes the internal and external temperature gradient to increase with the thickness of the rubber layer. This results in significantly different degrees of vulcanization between the internal and external rubber compounds at the same vulcanization time. Therefore, when determining the vulcanization process parameters, the first thing to do is to ensure that the rubber compound in each part is fully vulcanized, that is, there is no under-vulcanization inside and no over-vulcanization outside. Under this premise, it is also necessary to determine the shortest vulcanization time to improve production efficiency while ensuring product quality.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1) In the present invention, carbon black and graphene are used together as two reinforcing fillers in conjunction with an in-situ interfacial modification process to improve their dispersibility in rubber and their interfacial interaction with the rubber, thereby improving the hardness and mechanical properties of the composite material while ensuring that the molded tire has a low dynamic heat generation value during driving, thereby slowing down the aging and failure of the load-bearing tire.

[0029] 2) The interfacial modifier in this invention serves two purposes: first, it improves the dispersion of carbon black and GO in the NR matrix. Dispersion of reinforcing fillers in rubber is crucial for improving the performance of the composite. Silane coupling agents improve the surface properties of carbon black and GO, enhancing their compatibility with NR and, in turn, their interfacial interaction with rubber. Second, the interfacial modifier chemically reacts with the NR matrix to form a vulcanized crosslinked network, improving the bond strength between the filler and rubber, and enhancing the mechanical properties and durability of the composite.

[0030] 3) Compared to other tire production processes, this invention utilizes a highly efficient and industrially feasible aqueous phase co-precipitation process to prepare a well-dispersed GO / NR masterbatch. This process is followed by mechanical blending to produce a GO / CB / NR rubber mix, which is then vulcanized to produce a solid roadwheel tire. Each of these steps can be prepared using conventional processes; the materials involved are environmentally friendly and inexpensive; and the equipment is simple to operate, making it readily scalable.

[0031] 4) The present invention utilizes a "sandwich structure" mixed rubber sheet in conjunction with a step-by-step vulcanization process to improve the vulcanization effect of solid rubber tires. The first step utilizes high-temperature vulcanization to improve the fluidity of the rubber compound and reduce defects in the load-bearing tire. The second step utilizes low-temperature vulcanization to completely vulcanize the rubber compound without causing a decrease in mechanical properties due to over-sulfurization, thereby ensuring that the product obtains optimal vulcanization uniformity, and the molded solid rubber tire has excellent mechanical properties, thereby further improving the service life of the natural rubber road wheel solid tire.
