Abstract
A history of the development of tread rubbers is summarized with emphasis on the importance of macrostructure and the glass transition temperature of the polymer for the best balance of properties. Fundamental differences in structure and properties between emulsion and solution SBR are then presented. Finally, the effect of micro- and macrostructure of solution rubbers on the performance characteristics of tread materials is discussed based on tyre performance data.
