Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of rubber, in particular to modified styrene-butadiene rubber, a method for preparing the modified styrene-butadiene rubber, a rubber composition, a method for preparing vulcanized rubber, the vulcanized rubber prepared by the method and application of the vulcanized rubber.

Background

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, michelin incorporated introduced precipitated silica filler technology for the preparation of high performance tires and disclosed that silica provided good mechanical properties, high elasticity, low rolling resistance and low heat build-up upon flexing as a novel reinforcing filler. Since then, the use of white carbon black in high performance tires has attracted great interest in the industry and academia.

The styrene butadiene rubber/white carbon black composite material can well balance comprehensive performances such as mechanical strength, rebound resilience, rolling resistance and high wet skid resistance, and becomes one of the most important materials in the green color wheel tire.

The degree of dispersion of the filler and the interaction of the filler with the rubber are key factors in determining the performance of the composite. However, the surface of the silica is rich in silicon hydroxyl groups, and the surface polarity of the silica is greatly different from that of styrene-butadiene rubber, so that the silica is difficult to obtain good dispersion in a rubber matrix. To solve this problem, scholars at home and abroad do a lot of work.

At present, the most successful method is to apply the silane coupling agent to the surface of the white carbon black for modification so as to improve the dispersion effect of the white carbon black in the matrix. Although the silane coupling agent improves the compatibility of the rubber matrix and the white carbon black to a certain extent, the self-polymerization tendency of the white carbon black is still obvious due to the unique surface structure of the white carbon black.

In addition, the polar modification of the rubber matrix is also an effective way to improve filler dispersion and promote filler-matrix interaction. CN103509159A discloses a modified solution-polymerized butylbenzene prepared by a solution method, and discloses that when the gel content of the obtained modified solution-polymerized butylbenzene is 1-3 wt%, the modified solution-polymerized butylbenzene has good application performance. However, the method for preparing the modified solution polymerized butylbenzene by the solution method has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, large pollution and low efficiency.

in order to overcome the defects, the modified rubber which is simple in preparation process, low in energy consumption and low in pollution is needed, can be used for the tire tread and has excellent dynamic performance and the dispersibility of white carbon black is improved.

preparation example 1: preparation of modified styrene-butadiene rubber G1

adding 100 parts by weight of solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber into an internal mixer, setting the rotating speed of the internal mixer to be 80rpm, the plasticating temperature to be 80 ℃, and the plasticating time of raw rubber to be 0.5 min; adjusting the rotating speed of the internal mixer to 55rpm, then adding 0.1 part by weight of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and 3 parts by weight of a polar modifier gamma- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) propyl triethoxysilane into the internal mixer for mixing at the mixing temperature of 110 ℃ for 6min to obtain the modified styrene-butadiene rubber G1.

The grafting ratio of the polar modifier was 0.2 mol% and the gel content of the modified styrene-butadiene rubber G1 was 4 wt% based on the total molar amount of vinyl structural units in the styrene-butadiene rubber forming the modified styrene-butadiene rubber G1.

preparation example 2: preparation of modified styrene-butadiene rubber G2

adding 100 parts by weight of solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber into an internal mixer, setting the rotating speed of the internal mixer to be 75rpm, the plasticating temperature to be 80 ℃, and the plasticating time of raw rubber to be 0.5 min; keeping the rotating speed of the internal mixer at 75rpm, then adding 0.5 part by weight of dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO) and 5 parts by weight of gamma- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) propyl trimethoxy silane serving as a polar modifier into the internal mixer for mixing at 120 ℃ for 5min to obtain the modified styrene-butadiene rubber G2.

the grafting ratio of the polar modifier was 0.5 mol% and the gel content of the modified styrene-butadiene rubber G2 was 5 wt% based on the total molar amount of vinyl structural units in the styrene-butadiene rubber forming the modified styrene-butadiene rubber G2.
