Abstract

Abstract A rubber composition for tire having low rolling resistance and high wet skid resistance, breakage strength and wear resistance consists mainly of a rubber component containing at least 20 parts by weight of a high vinyl butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber obtained by copolymerizing randomly styrene with 1,3-butadiene, and containing 3-30% by weight of bonded styrene and 60-95% by weight of 1,2-bond in butadiene unit, and further containing metal-butadienyl bonds in its main chain in a weight fraction of at least 20% by weight.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 113 words
A rubber composition for a tire tread consisting mainly of a rubber component containing at least 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the rubber component, of a high vinyl butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber obtained by copolymerizing randomly styrene with 1,3-butadiene, and containing 3-30% by weight of bonded styrene and 60-95% by weight of 1,2-bond in the butadiene unit, and further containing bonds of at least one metal selected from silicon, germanium, tin and lead with butadienyl group in its main chain in a weight fraction of at least 20% by weight, wherein said rubber component is a diene rubber having a glass transition temperature not higher than -50° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 113 words
A rubber composition for a tire tread consisting mainly of a rubber component containing at least 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the rubber component, of a high vinyl butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber obtained by copolymerizing randomly styrene with 1,3-butadiene, and containing 3-30% by weight of bonded styrene and 60-95% by weight of 1,2-bond in the butadiene unit, and further containing bonds of at least one metal selected from silicon, germanium, tin and lead with butadienyl group in its main chain in a weight fraction of at least 20% by weight, wherein said rubber component is a diene rubber having a glass transition temperature not higher than -50° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 90 words
A rubber composition for a tire tread according to claim 1, wherein the rubber component is a rubber blend consisting of 20-80 parts by weight of said high vinyl butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber and 80-20 parts by weight of at least one diene rubber having a glass transition temperature not higher than -50° C., which is selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic polyisoprene rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene ternary copolymer rubber, and polybutadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber containing not more than 50% by weight of 1,2-bond in the butadiene unit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
A rubber composition for a tire tread according to claim 1, wherein said high vinyl butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber contains 3-10% by weight of bonded styrene and from more than 80% by weight to 95% by weight of 1,2-bond in the butadiene unit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A rubber composition for a tire tread according to claim 1, wherein said high vinyl butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber contains 15-30% by weight of bonded styrene and 60-75% by weight of 1,2-bond in the butadiene unit.
