T
he agglomeration of silica-silica in Si-SBR composites
deteriorate the many properties of the tire tread rubber.
We prepared various dispersants to improve the dispersibility
of silica in Si-SBR composites: poly (itaconic acid-co-
acrylamide), poly(styrene-co-allyl alcohol), poly(styrene-co-
methyl methacrylate), and poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-
styrene). We confirmed the structure and molecular weight of
the dispersants using FT-IR and GPC, respectively. The silica
loading content in SBR/silica composites was determined
using thermal gravimetric analysis. We also investigated
curing characteristics, morphology, Payne effect of the Si-SBR
composites according to the types of dispersant. As a result,
we were able to compare the effect of silica dispersion in the
composites.
