The purpose of the present invention is to provide a modified polymer that significantly reduces heat build-up due to the modification when the modified polymer is formed into a rubber composition, a rubber composition containing the modified polymer, and a pneumatic tire in which the rubber composition is used. The modified polymer of the present invention is a modified polymer obtained by modifying a styrene-conjugated diene copolymer (A) with a nitrone compound (B). In the modified polymer, the content of styrene units in the styrene-conjugated diene copolymer (A) is 10% by mass or greater, and the proportion of vinyl bonds among all the double bonds contained in the styrene-conjugated diene copolymer (A) is 5 mol % or greater.
本发明的目的是提供一种改性聚合物,当改性聚合物形成橡胶组合物时,显著减少热积聚,以及包含改性聚合物的橡胶组合物和使用橡胶组合物的气动轮胎。本发明的改性聚合物是通过用亚硝基化合物(B)改性苯乙烯-共轭二烯共聚物(A)而获得的改性聚合物。在改性聚合物中,苯乙烯-共轭二烯共聚物(A)中苯乙烯单元的含量为质量的10%或更高,并且在苯乙烯-共轭二烯共聚物(A)中所有双键中的乙烯键的比例为5摩尔%或更高。
