Many studies on the DMPs of various rubber compounds have been reported, including the effect of the type and amount of polymers (refs. 1-3) and fillers (refs. 4-8), the interaction between polymers and fillers (ref. 7), the other compounding ingredients and the state of cure (refs. 9 and 10).

. A solid tire tread gets cut upon striking sharp objects with a heavy load or force. Usually, chipping follows the cut and is a secondary effect. The factors responsible for cutting and chipping behavior of solid tire treads can be classified into two groups, including uncontrollable, i.e., nature of terrain, working environmental conditions and services, and controllable, i.e., compound properties, manufacturing formulations and raw material properties. Very limited published information is available on the studies of cut and chip behavior of solid tire tread compounds. Among the ingredients used for making solid tread compounds, polymer and filler play a major role, apart from the manufacturing condition.

Both filler as well as polymer play a major role apart from the chemicals and manufacturing conditions. Considering the load bearing capacity and environmental conditions under which solid tires are exposed, they have to be very tough under dynamic conditions. Therefore, the fillers should be highly reinforcing in nature.

Results and discussion

The results of the compounds tested (F1-F33) are shown in tables 3A-3C.

Compound viscosity (ASTM D1646, at 100[degrees]C) The rate of increase of viscosity with filler loading was found to be minimum in the case of N231, because of lower structure (OAN value 93.2 cc/100g). Mostly, viscosity of the compounds is controlled by the structure of carbon black. The rate of viscosity increase with loading was highest with N234, which has the highest structure among the three carbon blacks (ref. 21). In the presence of silica, viscosity reduction was mostly due to reduction in filler structure (ref. 22). A viscosity reduction was also seen with the SEV cure system.

The viscosity of SBR is 51 and the viscosity of NR is 68. The lower viscosity of SBR resulted in better mixing of ingredients used for compounding, compared to the higher viscosity of NR. In SBR, the replacement of carbon black with silica did not give additional advantage and the curing system had little effect (viscosity will increase only at a higher amount of silica, such as 60 phr (ref. 23).

Mooney scorch (ASTM D1646, at 138[degrees]C)

The decrease of the [T.sub.5] scorch value with increase of carbon black loading was due to the linear relationship of CB loading with viscosity. Viscosity was increased due to increased CB loading, which caused the [T.sub.5] value to decrease. In the presence of silica, [T.sub.5] was increased due to a drop in viscosity of the compound. However, the replacement of NR with SBR did not show a similar trend, which is possibly due to the inherent characteristics of SBR. For [T.sub.35] scorch, the trend remains almost identical to the [T.sub.5] observations for all three carbon black grades, as well as silica-replaced compounds, under different curing systems.

[T.sub.90]--optimum cure time (ASTM D6204, at 145[degrees]C)

There was no impact of CB loading on [T.sub.90] values for all three CB grades, as [T.sub.90] is dependent mostly on cure characteristics that remained identical for all the formulations. The impact of accelerator accelerator: see particle accelerator.

 could be observed only in [T.sub.90], because of accelerated crosslinking. However, the presence of SBR made the compound slow to cure, which may be due to its lower viscosity.

MH--maximum torque (ASTM D6204, at 145 [degrees] C) The maximum torque value increased with CB loading, but gets saturated saturated /sat·u·rat·ed/ (sach´ah-rat?ed)

The reduction in MH value observed due to addition of silica is because of reduction in viscosity (ref. 24).

Hardness--IRHD (ASTM D1415) IRHD hardness measurements indicated that, in general, this property tends to increase with the amount of reinforcement reinforcement /re·in·force·ment/ (-in-fors´ment) in behavioral science, the presentation of a stimulus following a response that increases the frequency of subsequent responses, whether positive to desirable events, or  properties of filler (ref. 25). Aggregate size and aggregate size distribution can achieve it (although, in the case of N220, the [DELTA] d50 is large at 78 nm, but iodine value The iodine value (or "iodine adsorption value" or "iodine number") in chemistry is the mass of iodine in grams that is consumed by 100 grams of a chemical substance. An iodine solution is yellow/brown in color and any chemical group in the substance that reacts with iodine will  and [N.sub.2]SA are high at 123.5 and 118.2 [m.sup.2]/gm respectively). The drop in hardness value when changing the curing system from CV to SEV, in both NR and SBR, is possibly because of lower crosslink density. The presence of silica did not contribute to hardness in NR; whereas, in SBR formulations, it had a positive impact for all the grades of CB used for this study.

300% modulus (ASTM D412) Modulus of the compound is dependent on crosslinking and the filler structure (both primary and secondary), keeping other variables constant. Compared to OAN, which is an expression of both primary and secondary structure, compressed OAN (COAN COAN Change of Address Notification (Canada Post Corporation)

) reflects only the primary structure and has more relevance (ref. 26). Sometimes the difference between COAN and OAN, which reflects the amount of secondary structure, plays a negative role for dynamic properties of the compound. In the present study, we have observed that 300% modulus was high in the case of N220. Although N234 has marginally higher COAN and higher OAN, it did not give the highest modulus. The possible reason is the presence of higher secondary structure that got damaged during the mixing of compounds and played no role at the time of vulcanization vulcanization (vŭl'kənəzā`shən), treatment of rubber to give it certain qualities, e.g., strength, elasticity, and resistance to solvents, and to render it impervious to moderate heat and cold. . Therefore, N220 has shown higher modulus. For modulus, it is not only COAN that is important, but also [N.sub.2]SA (higher for N220) contributes to some extent (ref. 27).

Tensile strength (ASTM D412) Tensile strength of the compounds was found to show an initial increase, followed by a drop in value, with increase of carbon black loading (ref. 28). Changing the curing system to SEV improved tensile strength, but the presence of silica did not have any significant effect (ref. 29). In SBR-1502, we observed that the presence of silica had a significant contribution in N220 grade.

 to tensile strength and modulus. Therefore, with increasing CB loading, the elongation at break decreases. N231, which had the lowest modulus, showed higher elongation at break because of lower COAN.

Abrasion loss (ASTM D5963) Abrasion loss is mostly controlled by the tint property of carbon black (ref. 30). With narrower panicle size distribution, the abrasion loss will be minimal. CB grade N234 was found to have the lowest abrasion loss in all formulations and had the highest tint (124.0) and CTAB (l 18.3 [m.sup.2]/g) values. For abrasion loss, iodine iodine (ī`ədīn, –dĭn) [Gr.,=violet], nonmetallic chemical element; symbol I; at. no. 53; at. wt. 126.9045; m.p. 113.5°C;; b.p. 184.35°C;; sp. gr. 4.93 at 20°C;; valence −1, +1, +3, +5, or +7.  number and N[.sub.2]SA also play a role.

Rebound resilience (ASTM D1054) The drop of resilience with increase of carbon black content (ref. 31) may be due to the maximum attainment of elasticity. The carbon black loading in the present experiment was beyond the optimum level for resilience, keeping in mind the solid tire tread compound formulation.

Cut and chip resistance

Weight loss The results for the three CB grades shown in figure 1 indicate:

[FIGURE 1 OMITTED]

* As the CB loading increased, the weight loss reached a minimum and then increased.

* Among the three carbon blacks, N220 gave slightly lower weight loss after 10 minutes testing. With subsequent exposure to cutting and chipping, weight loss was found to be minimal with N234.

* Changing the curing system to SEV did not appear to have much effect overall.

* Addition of silica increased the weight loss.

* Overall, N234 in combination with the SEV curing system gave the lowest weight loss after 30 minutes testing (compound F28).

* On changing the base polymer to SBR, the trend of weight loss remained identical for all the carbon blacks, but the minimum loss was found without silica. The addition of silica in the NR and SBR formulations made the compound less cut and chip resistant.

Diameter loss

The diameter loss results (figure 2) for all three CB grades show:

[FIGURE 2 OMITTED]

* With increasing carbon black loading, the reduction in diameter initially decreases then remains almost constant with time.

* After 10 minutes testing, N231 showed higher diameter reduction compared to the other two grades, and N220 was found to be minimal; whereas after 30 minutes testing, N234 gave the minimum reduction in diameter.

* Changing the curing system did not have any significant impact on diameter reduction.

* Addition of silica increased the reduction in diameter.

* Diameter reduction was less when changing the base polymer to SBR from NR, except for N234.

* With some silica replacing CB in SBR, the diameter reduction increased, but upon changing the curing system to SEV, it decreased to some extent.

 (ASTM D623) The heat build-up study was done at three different temperatures of testing, i.e., 25 [degrees] C, 70 [degrees] C and 100 [degrees] C. The results are shown in figure 3 for all three CB grades, and the observations include:

* There was no significant difference among the three carbon black grades in terms of heat build-up value.

* On changing the curing system to SEV, a drop in heat build-up was observed.

* Replacement of carbon black with 10 phr of silica further reduced the heat build-up. With changing the curing system to SEV, the heat build-up was found to be minimal with all three carbon black grades. The lowest heat build-up was recorded in the NR formulation with 10 phr of silica and SEV curing. N220 was lowest, followed by N234 and N231.

* With changing the polymer from NR to SBR 1502, heat build-up was found to increase with all three carbon black grades at all three temperatures of testing. With 10 phr of silica, the heat build-up decreased for all test temperatures. But on changing the curing system to SEV, a decrease in heat build-up value was observed for all three CB grades.

Tan [delta] (ASTM D623, 10 Hz, 10% strain) The results are shown in figure 4 for all three CB grades. All the compounds were tested for tan [delta] values at the temperatures of 25 [degrees] C, 70 [degrees] C and 100 [degrees] C. Results show:

[FIGURE 4 OMITTED]

* Although only a minor difference was observed among the three carbon black grades (at three different temperatures) for the tan [delta] values, N234 gave the minimum value.

* With increasing carbon black loading, the tan [delta] value was found to increase for all three carbon black grades.

* Upon changing the curing system from CV to SEV, the tan [delta] value increased slightly for N220 and N231 but reversed for N234.

* Replacement of CB with 10 phr of silica decreased the tan [delta] values in CV curing.

* Changing the base polymer from NR to SBR increased the tan [delta] for N220 and N231, but decreased it for N234.

The combination of NR as base polymer and 10 phr replacement of silica gave the optimum tan [delta] values. N234 CB gave the minimum, followed by N220 and N231.

Tear strength (ASTM D624) Tear strength results are shown in figure 5 for all three CB grades.

[FIGURE 5 OMITTED]

Effect of carbon black With the increase of carbon black loading, the tear strength showed an initial increase, followed by a drop in value for all three carbon blacks (ref. 28). Also, tear strength was maximum in the case of N220, followed by N234 and N231.

Effect of curing system Changing the curing system from CV to SEV showed an increase in tear strength with N234 and N220, whereas N231 showed the reverse trend.

Effect of silica The presence of silica in both CV and SEV cure systems showed increased tear strength (ref. 29) with N220 and N234, but the trend was reversed with N231.

Effect of polymer With all three carbon blacks, tear strength increased with a change of base polymer from NR to SBR 1502.

Conclusion

An attempt has been made to understand the impact of the control variables like the curing system, partial replacement of carbon black with silica and change of base polymer from NR to SBR, with the application properties of the compound having three carbon blacks belonging to the 200 series, i.e., N220, N231 and N234, in solid tire tread formulations. The properties that benefited from the change to an SEV curing system were tensile strength, tear strength and heat build-up. The properties that showed negative impact were hardness and tan [delta] values. The SEV curing system had no impact on the cut and chip behavior of the compounds.

With the presence of silica, the viscosity was lower with all CB grades. This may be due to the nature of silica, where the filler-rubber interaction is comparatively less than the CB. A low London London, city, Canada

On the other hand, silica enhances the tear strength and prolongs the cure time (ref. 30). For silica filled rubber systems, the rubber/filler interactions play a major role in improvement of DMPs, like heat build-up and tan [delta] and are most likely controlled by the introduction of coupling agent (refs. 31 and 32).

 treatment leads to an increase of the crosslink density of the silica/rubber composites compared to that of untreated silica/rubber composites. This results in increased tearing increased tearing Hyperlacrimation  energy of the composites, which then leads to an increase in the mechanical properties.

The role of SBR, in place of NR, could not be found beneficial with respect to cut and chip behavior of the compound, although it had a positive impact on tear strength in the present study. SBR is amorphous in nature and does not undergo strain-induced crystallization Crystallization

The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase. Crystallization from solution is an important industrial operation because of the large number of materials marketed as crystalline particles.
 like NR, but it responds positively to filler reinforcement to a greater degree.

In conclusion, it was found that the combination of N234 carbon black, NR base polymer, 10 phr silica replacement and the SEV curing system gave the optimum cut and chip weight loss and reduction in diameter.
