  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the rubber composition which made wet performance and snow performance compatible, and a tire using the same can be provided.

Hereinafter, the rubber composition of the present invention will be described in detail.
The rubber composition of the present invention is a rubber composition containing a rubber component (A), a thermoplastic resin (B), and a filler (C). In the rubber composition of the present invention, the rubber component (A) contains a polyisobutylene rubber, and 70% by mass or more of the rubber component (A) is a rubber having a glass transition point of −50 ° C. or less. The thermoplastic resin (B) is 5 to 30 parts by mass and the filler (C) is 50 parts by mass or more with respect to 100 parts by mass of the component (A). Furthermore, in the rubber composition of the present invention, tan δ at 0 ° C. after vulcanization is 0.5 or more, and the storage elastic modulus at −20 ° C. is 100 MPa or less.

<Rubber component (A)>
As the rubber component (A), a rubber having a glass transition point of −50 ° C. or less is used in an amount of 70% by mass or more, preferably 70 to 90% by mass, thereby ensuring flexibility at low temperatures and improving snow performance. However, when the rubber composition is composed only of such rubber, the wettability is not sufficient because there is no energy dissipation component. Therefore, by blending the polyisobutylene-based rubber that develops energy dissipation in a wide temperature range and the thermoplastic resin (B), high wet performance is secured while maintaining flexibility at low temperatures. Further, by blending a filler, tan δ at 0 ° C. after vulcanization is 0.5 or more and storage elastic modulus E ′ at −20 ° C. is 100 MPa or less. When used as a tread rubber, a rubber composition that satisfies these requirements can achieve both high wet performance and snow performance.

  The rubber component (A) used in the rubber composition of the present invention contains 70% by mass or more of rubber having a glass transition point of −50 ° C. or lower. In the rubber composition of the present invention, a diene rubber can be used as such a rubber. Examples of the diene rubber include natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, polybutadiene rubber, synthetic polyisoprene rubber, styrene-isoprene rubber, ethylene-butadiene copolymer rubber, propylene-butadiene copolymer rubber, and ethylene-propylene-butadiene. Examples thereof include copolymer rubber, ethylene-α-olefin-diene copolymer rubber, butyl rubber, halogenated butyl rubber, a copolymer of styrene and isobutylene having a halogenated methyl group, and chloroprene rubber.

  In the rubber composition of the present invention, the rubber component (A) contains a polyisobutylene rubber. In the present invention, as described above, the polyisobutylene rubber is an isobutylene containing a polymer block mainly composed of butyl rubber, liquid polyisobutylene, and isobutylene, and a polymer block mainly composed of an aromatic vinyl compound. It is a system block copolymer. Butyl rubber, liquid polyisobutylene, and isobutylene block copolymer are 5 to 30 parts by mass, preferably 10 to 30 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of rubber component (A). As the butyl rubber, either modified butyl rubber or unmodified butyl rubber can be used, or these may be used in combination. As the modified butyl rubber, halogenated butyl rubber such as chlorinated butyl rubber and brominated butyl rubber can be suitably used.

  For the rubber component (A) used in the rubber composition of the present invention, a rubber containing a modified NR of 50% by mass or more, preferably 60% by mass or more can be suitably used. By setting the content of the modified NR in the rubber component (A) to 50% by mass or more, the effect of the petroleum hydrocarbon resin (B) can be exhibited sufficiently. That is, the petroleum hydrocarbon resin (B) is easily compatible with the modified NR phase, the rubber becomes flexible, and the loss and wet performance and snow performance can be improved. Further, since the dispersibility of the filler can be increased, the storage elastic modulus E ′ at low temperature can be lowered, and tan δ from room temperature to high temperature range can be lowered, leading to reduction of rolling resistance. .

  The modified NR is obtained by graft-polymerizing a polar group-containing compound by applying mechanical shearing force to at least one natural rubber raw material selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, natural rubber latex coagulum, and natural rubber cup lamp. Things can be used. Since the polar group of the polar group-containing compound is excellent in affinity to various fillers such as carbon black and silica, the modified NR has a higher affinity for various fillers than the unmodified natural rubber. Therefore, the rubber composition using the modified NR as the rubber component has high dispersibility of the filler with respect to the rubber component, and the reinforcing effect of the filler is sufficiently exhibited. Exotherm is also greatly improved.

  In the rubber composition of the present invention, modified natural rubber is preferable because the effects of the present invention can be obtained satisfactorily. Examples of the vinyl monomer containing an epoxy group include (meth) allyl glycidyl ether, glycidyl (meth) acrylate, and 3,4-oxycyclohexyl (meth) acrylate. These epoxy group-containing vinyl monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  As the natural rubber raw material, various solid natural rubbers after drying, various natural rubber latex coagulated products (including unsmoked sheets) or natural rubber cup lamps can be used, and these natural rubber raw materials are used alone. Or may be used in combination of two or more.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a modified functional group in modified | denatured SBR, According to the objective, it can select suitably. As the modified functional group, for example, a modified functional group having an interaction property with respect to the filler is preferably exemplified. The interaction with the filler can be enhanced, and both low loss and wear resistance can be achieved at a higher level. Here, the “modified functional group having an interaction property with the filler” means, for example, a covalent bond between the modified functional group and the surface of the filler (for example, silica); intermolecular force (ion-dipolar) It means a functional group capable of forming a dipole interaction), a dipole-dipole interaction, an intermolecular force such as a hydrogen bond or van der Waals force.
