Abstract

Influence of low molecular weight polybutadiene (liquid PB) treated with maleic anhydride on properties of a silica-filled SBR compounds was studied. Silica dispersion was improved by adding liquid PB. The liquid PB treated with maleic anhydride (liquid MAPB) was found to be more effective for the improvement of silica dispersion than the liquid PB without maleic anhydride (liquid NPB). Viscosity of the SBR compound decreased by adding the liquid PB. The crosslink density decreased with increase of the liquid PB content and the cure rate became slower with increasing the liquid PB content. Considering the experimental results, it was believed that addition of small amount of the liquid PB (less than 5 phr) was desirable to improve properties of silica-filled SBR compounds.

Maleic anhydride로 처리된 저분자량 폴리부타디엔 (액상 PB)이 실리카로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 실리카 분산은 액상 PB의 첨가에 의해 향상되었다. Maleic anhydride가 포함된 액상 PB가 maleic anhydride가 포함되지 않은 액상 PB보다 실리카 분산성 향상에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. SBR 배합물의 점도는 액상 PB가 첨가됨에 따라 감소하였다. 가교밀도는 액상 PB의 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 가황 속도는 느려졌다. 실험 결과를 고려하면, 5 phr 이하의 소량으로 액상 PB를 첨가함으로써 실리카로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 특성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
