The document discusses rubber formulations and compounding. It provides formulations for three different rubber compounds that include various ingredients like carbon black, silica, oils, and vulcanization agents. It also discusses a typical green passenger car tire tread formulation and the effects of surface treatment on silica. Finally, it briefly describes thermoplastic elastomers and dynamically vulcanized blends.

Typical green passenger car tire tread formulation Ingredients phr Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) 75 Polybutadiene (BR) 25 Silica 80 Coupling agent (liquid) 6.4 Elemental sulphur 2 N-tert-butyl-2- benzothiazole 2 sulfenamide(TBBS) Diphenylguanidine (DPG) 2 Zinc oxide (ZnO) 3 Stearic acid 2 Aromatic oil 34 5 Effect of surface treatment Thermoplastic elastomers Thermoplastic elastomers are multi- functional polymeric materials that generally possess the processability of thermoplastics and the elasticity of vulcanized rubber. Intrinsic thermoplastic elastomers include microphase separated block and segmented copolymers containing a soft (low-Tg) species. Thermoplastic elastomers The number of possible elastomeric blend compositions is quite large, relatively few of them are of technological importance.
This is largely because of the fact that most
polymers have been incompatible with one another, at least in the thermodynamic sense.
