2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, demand for so-called all-season tires that can be used in the same manner as in the summer without replacing tires in the winter has been increasing. Tires of this type have the same dry grip, wet grip, steering stability, durability, and fuel economy as in summer, and also have sufficient drivability and braking performance on ice and snow. Is. Conventional tread rubber used for such tires is a softening agent that can reduce the hardness of summer tread rubber at low temperature, use a polymer having a low glass transition point, or can appropriately maintain the elastic modulus at low temperature. There are known methods for using.

However, in the former method, due to the hysteresis characteristic of this polymer, even if a moderate performance is exhibited in the snow and snow temperature region, the braking property and the maneuverability on a wet road surface or a dry road surface are not sufficient. The latter method is also disclosed in JP-A-55-135149, JP-A-58-199203, JP-A-60-137945, and the like.
It has been pointed out that the improvement of the performance on ice and snow has a large adverse effect on abrasion resistance and durability when driving on a general road.

In addition, whichever technique is used, the ice-snow performance in so-called dry-on-ice is certainly good in a relatively low temperature range of -5 ° C or lower, but it is around 0 ° C. In the wet condition, that is, in the so-called wet-on-ice performance on snow and ice, it is difficult to say that a sufficient friction coefficient is obtained, and drivability, braking performance and steering stability are sufficiently improved.

On the other hand, in recent years, a technique has been adopted in which a device for improving frictional force is added to the tread rubber itself. As a first method, there is a method in which a tread rubber is foamed by an appropriate method to generate closed cells (JP-A-63-89547). Generally, a layer called a pseudo liquid layer exists on the surface of ice. Then, when the object is pressed and slid on the ice, the pseudo liquid layer partially changes to a water film, and this water film plays a role of a lubricant, and exhibits a low coefficient of friction.

Since the surface of the tread rubber obtained by generating closed cells is covered with a large number of bubbles, the water film generated in the contact surface with the ice surface is washed away, and the micropores in the pores are removed. With a great amount of exercise, the effect of removing the pseudo liquid layer (scraper) is exerted, and thus high friction on ice is exerted. Generally, tires for ice and snow are designed to increase the edge of the block by providing a large number of sipes, but the essential point is that the pseudo liquid on the ice surface is the edge of the block sipe. It has the function of removing layers, and this effect is called "macro edge effect". On the other hand, microscopic irregularities are created by the closed-cell rubber, and the essence of the function of the convexities is the “microscopic edge effect”.

This method has been incorporated into actual tire treads and is commercially available as studless tires.
In addition, a method of mixing various foreign substances (natural substances such as sand and rice husk) into the tread rubber and causing the foreign substances to fall off during tire running to generate pores has been studied. This method is the same as foaming as a mechanism for increasing friction on ice. Although the first method has an effect of removing the pseudo liquid layer on the ice surface, it is a method for obtaining high friction by directly scratching the solid ice itself as in the conventional spike tire.

As a second method, various high hardness materials are mixed into the tread rubber, and the scratching effect on the ice surface in the high hardness material is utilized to achieve high friction on ice of the tread rubber. There is (Japanese Examined Sho 46-3173)
2, JP-A-51-147803, JP-B-56-52

In many cases, the greater the amount of these high hardness materials mixed, the higher the friction of the tread rubber on ice.

Among the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the first method is
After the foaming of the tread rubber or the inclusion of foreign matter is released, the convex parts of the surface irregularities scratch the ice surface, and the concave parts absorb and drain the surface moisture, but the ice becomes harder and the ice surface melts. Under a difficult low temperature (normally -3 ° C or lower), the function of absorbing and draining water is not required so much, and the scratching effect cannot be expected so much.

On the other hand, the disadvantages of the second method in which the high hardness material having a high scratching effect is mixed in the matrix rubber of the tread have a small effect on improving the performance on ice at around 0 ° C. where the water content is high, and the high hardness material is used as the rubber. Since it is present as a foreign material having no affinity, the wear resistance and the fracture characteristics are significantly deteriorated.

C / B and a scorch inhibitor were mixed to obtain composite particles, which were studied from the viewpoint of compatibility with wear resistance by mixing with foamed tread rubber, but it is still sufficient from the demand level of the general market. However, further improvement is required. In addition, since the actual ice surface temperature varies from daytime to nighttime, a tire tread that exhibits more stable on-ice performance in a wide temperature range and does not significantly reduce wear resistance and breaking characteristics is desired. ing.

Further, the conventional foamed rubber has a function of improving the friction coefficient on ice by draining away the water film generated between the ice tread surface in the tread surface of the tire, such as water removal and drainage effects. However, there is a limit to removing a large amount of water film in the wet-on-ice state, and it is difficult to improve the friction coefficient on ice in the wet-on-ice state. Also another 1
This is a method of improving the performance on ice, which is a method of blending particles of specific particle size and hardness as micro spikes in order to give a scratching effect, but it is improved to some extent, but the synergistic effect of the scratching effect and the drainage effect is small. The performance level on ice is
Not enough yet.

The reason why the synergistic effect is small is that the above method has an inverse relationship between the hardness of the particles and the adhesiveness. That is, in the conventional technology, the harder the particles, the greater the scratching effect, but the harder the material,
Since the adhesion with the rubber matrix is reduced, particles are easily detached on the friction surface of the tire tread, the number of effective spikes is reduced, the scratching effect does not last long, abrasion resistance, crack resistance There remains a problem that causes deterioration of sex. Further, when the hard particles as described above are added to the rubber containing the foaming agent, they are foamed at the particle interface and the adhesive force with the matrix is lowered.

The operation of the present invention will be described below. When the bubble content is less than 5%, the water removing effect on the rubber surface on the ice road does not appear, and therefore the improvement on ice performance cannot be seen. If it exceeds 35%, durability and wear resistance are deteriorated, which is not preferable.

It is not preferable because it causes deterioration of wear resistance. JIS hardness is 75
When the amount is less than the above, the difference from the hardness of ice (70 at 0 ° C.) becomes small, and the scratching effect cannot be obtained.

When the content of the conjugated diene in the resin or resin composite is less than 10% by weight, there is no co-crosslinking property with the rubber matrix and the state of the cell surface coating can be obtained, but the matrix is liable to be worn on the tire during running. Desorption occurs due to insufficient adhesion with, and the desired performance on ice cannot be obtained. If the melting point or Tg of the resin is less than 80 ° C., it will be melt-dispersed in the rubber in the usual kneading, heating and extruding steps, and it will be difficult to cover the desired closed-cell surface.
Those having a melting point or Tg of higher than 200 ° C. are higher than the usual vulcanization temperature (100 to 200 ° C.), do not melt during vulcanization, and cannot cover the surface of bubbles. Further, at a vulcanization temperature of higher than 200 ° C., other performances such as the basic durability performance of the tire deteriorate, which is not realistic.

The S resin is preferable in terms of co-vulcanizability with the rubber matrix and resin hardness. If the content of sulfur in the resin composite is less than 0.3 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the resin, the adhesive strength will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 5.0 parts by weight, workability during production of the composite will be significantly reduced. If the amount of the sulfur accelerator is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the adhesive strength will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 7.0 parts by weight, workability will be unfavorable.

The particle size of the resin or resin of the resin composite before the vulcanization step is preferably 10 to 200 μm. This is because dispersed particles having a particle size of less than 10 μm do not cover the bubbles, and particles having a particle size of more than 200 μm cause the coated cell diameter after vulcanization to be too large to serve as fracture nuclei and reduce abrasion resistance and groove bottom crack resistance.

There is no need for melt dispersion by kneading. Therefore, in order to maintain the dispersion state in which the resin and the resin composite were not melted in the second stage, the kneading was terminated when the temperature reached 95 ° C. In addition, the processing temperature of rubber (the temperature of kneading and dispersing a foaming agent, a vulcanizing agent, etc. after kneading and dispersing a resin or a resin composite, the temperature of heating, etc.) has an upper limit of 95 ° C. It was confirmed that the particle size of the resin composite particles was 40 μm.
