Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vulcanizable rubber composition which can be used for the manufacture of tires. The invention also provides for a tire, the tread of which comprises such a composition. The rubber composition posses improved hysteresis and physical properties in the vulcanized state, while retaining satisfactory processing properties in the non-vulcanized state. The rubber composition comprises a reinforcing white filler and a diene block copolymer which is intended to interact with the white filler, the block copolymer comprising a diene block polymer having on at least one chain end thereof a polyether block having a molecular weight of between 1000 g/mol and 3000 g/mol, the polyether block corresponding to the formula: OnullCH2nullCH2nullO)nnullR,nullnull(I) in which n is an integer other than zero and R is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon.

The present invention relates to a vulcanizable rubber composition which can be used for the manufacture of tires, a process for the preparation of this composition and a tire, the tread of which comprises such a composition, the latter having improved hysteresis and physical properties in the vulcanized state, while retaining satisfactory processing properties. A rubber composition according to the invention comprises a reinforcing white filler, and is such that it comprises at least one diene block polymer which is intended to interact with said reinforcing white filler and which comprises on at least one of its chain ends a polysiloxane block which ends in a trialkylsilyl group, said polysiloxane block corresponding to the formula: nullnullSiR1R2Onullnullx-SiR3R4R5, in which R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 represent alkyl groups having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and in which x is a natural integer other than zero.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a linear or branched diene elastomer having cyclic vinyl units. A linear diene elastomer according to the invention results from at least one conjugated diene and it comprises cyclic vinyl units in a mass content of greater than or equal to 15% while having a number-average molecular weight falling within a range of from 10,000 to 300,000 g/mol. The invention also relates to a process for the production of such a linear or branched diene elastomer including cyclic vinyl units in the above-stated content and having a number-average molecular weight ranging from 10,000 to 300,000 g/mol, such that said process includes the continuous reaction of at least one conjugated diene monomer in an inert aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon solvent with a catalytic system comprising an organolithium initiator, a polar agent having two or more heteroatoms and an alkali metal salt of an aliphatic or alicyclic alcohol, where: (i) the (polar agent:initiator) molar ratio is greater than or equal to 3. (ii) the (salt:initiator) molar ratio falls within a range of from 0.01 to 2, and (iii) the (salt:polar agent) molar ratio falls within a range of from 0.001 to 0.5.
