Abstract
Improving the wet skid resistance of tire tread is very important for the safety of vehicle driving. Using a novel ultrafine full-vulcanised powdered styrene-butadiene rubber (UFPSBR), this work prepared an advanced UFPSBR/nature rubber (NR)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites used for the tire tread. On one hand, the UFPSBR improves the loss factor (tanδ) values of the UFPSBR/NR/SBR composites in temperature range from 0 °C to 10 °C, indicating that the UFPSBR modified tire tread has better wet skid resistance. On the other hand, the UFPSBR increases the surface roughness and complex modulus of the UFPSBR/NR/SBR composites while decreasing the water contact angle of the UFPSBR/NR/SBR composites, which is conducive to increasing the wet skid resistance of tire tread by puncturing the water film or leading a thinner water film between tire tread surface and road surface. Above researches are more comprehensive and benefit for studying the advanced green tire with high wet skid resistance.
