Abstract

Abstract A rubber composition containing 100 parts by weight of a diene-based rubber, 20 to 120 parts by weight of silica, 3 to 15% by weight, based upon the weight of silica, of a sulfur-containing silane coupling agent and (A) 1,5-diazabicyclo[4,3,0]nonene-5 (DBN) having the formula (I): and/or a salt thereof or (B) 0.1 to 3.0 parts by weight of a compound having a piperidine skeleton having the formula (II) or a salt thereof and/or formula (III): wherein n indicates 3 or 5, R 1 indicates CH or N and R 2 indicates H or OH when R 1 is CH, or H when R 1 is N, and a melamine derivative of formula (IV): wherein R 3 is a methoxymethyl group (—CH 2 OCH 3 ) or methylol group (—CH 2 OH), the number of methoxymethyl groups is 3 to 6, and the number of methylol groups is 0 to 3, and/or polymer or copolymer resins of the same and a pneumatic tire using the same.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a diene-based rubber, 20 to 120 parts by weight of silica, 3 to 15% by weight of a sulfur-containing silane coupling agent, based upon the weight of the silica, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a compound having a piperidine skeleton of the formula (II) or a salt thereof and/or formula (III): wherein n indicates 3 or 5 wherein R 1 indicates CH or N; and R 2 indicates H or OH when R 1 is CH, or indicates H when R 1 is N, and 0.2 to 10 parts by weight of a melamine derivative having the formula (IV): wherein R 3 is a methoxymethyl group (—CH 2 OCH 3 ) or a methylol group (—CH 2 OH), the number of methoxymethyl groups is 3 to 6 and the number of methylol groups is 0 to 3 and/or polymer or copolymer resins thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 154 words
A rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a diene-based rubber, 20 to 120 parts by weight of silica, 3 to 15% by weight of a sulfur-containing silane coupling agent, based upon the weight of the silica, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a compound having a piperidine skeleton of the formula (II) or a salt thereof and/or formula (III): wherein n indicates 3 or 5 wherein R 1 indicates CH or N; and R 2 indicates H or OH when R 1 is CH, or indicates H when R 1 is N, and 0.2 to 10 parts by weight of a melamine derivative having the formula (IV): wherein R 3 is a methoxymethyl group (—CH 2 OCH 3 ) or a methylol group (—CH 2 OH), the number of methoxymethyl groups is 3 to 6 and the number of methylol groups is 0 to 3 and/or polymer or copolymer resins thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
A rubber composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compounding amount of the melamine derivative and/or polymer or copolymer resin thereof is 0.2 to 10 parts by weight based upon 100 parts by weight of the diene-based rubber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
A rubber composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the melamine derivative is methylol melamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 54 words
A rubber composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a melamine derivative having the formula (IV) and/or polymer or copolymer resins thereof is produced by mixing, at a second step after mixing, the diene-based rubber, silica, sulfur-containing silane coupling agent and a compound having the formula (II) or a salt and/or formula (III).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
A pneumatic tire using a rubber composition according to claim 1 as a tire tread.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
A pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the tire tread is a tire cap tread.
