The present invention discloses a method for preparing high-performance tread rubber through a filler silylation reaction catalyzed in situ by an ionic liquid. The method is as follow: adding a gum rubber, a filler, a silane and an ionic liquid successively into an open mill or an internal mixer for mixing to obtain a rubber compound; high-temperature remilling the rubber compound; adding a vulcanizing package and an anti-aging agent into the remilled rubber compound at room temperature; and vulcanizing the rubber compound to obtain a vulcanized rubber. The method uses the ionic liquid as a catalyst for the silylation of filler surfaces, which effectively promotes the dispersion of a light-colored filler such as silica in the rubber, and improves the rubber-filler interfacial performance. Therefore, this method can substantially reduce an amount of the silane and improve dynamic mechanical performance of a tread rubber material, including reduced rolling resistance and heat build-up. This method has advantages such as simple technology and no additional processing equipment or step is needed, having an important prospect in preparation of the high-performance tire.
本发明公开了一种通过离子液体原位催化填料硅烷化反应制备高性能胎面橡胶的方法。该方法如下:将胶料、填料、硅烷和离子液体依次加入开炼机或内混炼机中进行混炼,得到胶料;对胶料进行高温重炼;在常温下向重炼后的胶料中加入硫化包和防老化剂;对胶料进行硫化,得到硫化胶。该方法使用离子液体作为填料表面硅烷化的催化剂,可有效促进白炭黑等浅色填料在橡胶中的分散,改善橡胶与填料的界面性能。因此,该方法可大幅减少硅烷的用量,改善胎面橡胶材料的动态机械性能,包括降低滚动阻力和热积聚。该方法具有技术简单、无需额外加工设备或步骤等优点,在制备高性能轮胎方面具有重要前景。
