Modified soybean oil (MSO) is synthesized from soybean oil (SO) and sulfur, aiming to reduce the double bond quantity of SO and avoid harmful effects on the crosslink density and mechanical properties of rubber. MSO modified with different weight percentages of sulfur is then used to plasticize tire tread rubber (TR). It is found that the crosslink density and modulus of MSO- plasticized rubber are significantly improved compared with that of SO-plasticized TR. MSO modified with 6 wt % sulfur (MSO-6%) exhibits the best plasticization effect on TR, thus, the plasticization effect of MSO-6% on TR was further studied by adjusting its additive content. Thereafter, the Mooney viscosity, Payne effect, mechanical property of different amount of MSO-6% plasticized TR are studied to investigate their plasticization effect. At the same additive content of plasticizer, the plasticization effect of MSO-6% and a commonly used aromatic hydrocarbon plasticizer (AO) is compared to determine the potential application of MSO on tire tread rubber. It is found MSO shows similar plasticization effect on TR compared with AO. More important, the aging resistance property and wear resistance property of MSO-6% plasticized rubber are better than those of AO-plasticized rubber. Therefore, MSO-6% is a promising bio-based plasticizer for tire tread rubber.

ABSTRACT Precipitated silica- and carbon black (CB)-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds and vulcanizates containing naphthenic oil (NO), soybean oil (SO), and modified soybean oil (MSO) were studied. Gel fraction; crosslink density; bound rubber fraction; curing behavior; and thermal, mechanical, and dynamic properties were compared. Interaction between SO, MSO, and silane coupling agent was also studied. It was shown that the incorporation of SO and MSO had similar effects in both silica- and CB-filled SBR compounds and vulcanizates. SO and MSO were found to consume curatives leading to a lower crosslink density and improved thermal stability of compounds and vulcanizates. In comparison with NO, MSO was found to increase the elongation at break and tensile strength, and the values of tan δ at 10 °C and 60 °C predict an increase of the wet traction performance and the rolling resistance to decrease the modulus and abrasion resistance. After adjusting the recipe, the modulus and abrasion resistance of the silica- and CB-filled SBR/MSO vulcanizates were tremendously increased, and the silica-filled SBR/MSO vulcanizates exhibited a better wet traction performance, a lower rolling resistance, and a better abrasion resistance simultaneously than the silica-filled SBR/NO vulcanizate.

Abstract In a mixed crosslink system (sulfur and metal carboxylate) of XNBR vulcanizate, the variations of the proportions of curatives (low sulfur/high accelerator or high sulfur/low accelerator) have little effect on the vulcanizate properties. But aging studies indicate that the metal ion crosslinks are modified in the presence of a sulfur vulcanizing system. NBR vulcanizates with a comparable recipe have less crosslink density than the corresponding XNBR ones. In general, the technical properties and aging resistance of mixed crosslink systems using ZnO2 and sulfur donor-sulfur are better than the NBR vulcanizates. Increase of curing temperature does not always lower the technical properties of XNBR and NBR vulcanizates. Addition of XNBR to NBR in XNBR-NBR blends lowers most of the technical properties, possibly due to different vulcanization characteristics.

Tread Rubber

In this article, tire tread rubber material is analyzed. An experiment is designed to investigate the oxidation resistance property of the material. The micro-morphology is studied by using SEM and the amount change of chemical elements in the material is investigated by EDS. The hardness, permanent deformation and modulus are tested on the aged specimens. At last, rough analysis for these changes influence in tire performance are done correspondingly. The results show that the modules, hardness, compression permanent deformation have great changes, the microscope show that there are micro cracks in the aged rubber material, the elements also have great changes. And the analysis shows that the tread rubber oxidation has a great influence on tire performance.
