Abstract

Disclosed are a rubber composition for tire treads which includes raw rubber including a natural rubber, a solution-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber and a neodymium butadiene rubber, a reinforcing filler including highly dispersible silica and carbon black and a natural oil having an unsaturated fatty acid content of 60 to 90% by weight, and a tire manufactured from the same. The tire manufactured from the rubber composition for tire treads according to the embodiment of the present invention can exhibit excellent braking performance, abrasion resistance and durability.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rubber composition for tire treads comprising:
100 parts by weight of a raw rubber;
70 to 120 parts by weight of a reinforcing filler; and
20 to 40 parts by weight of a natural oil,
wherein the natural oil has a ratio of linolenic acid:oleic acid of 1:0.9 to 1:3,
wherein the natural oil comprises 60 to 90% by weight of unsaturated fatty acid,
wherein the natural oil comprises an oil substance obtained by extracting and separating the linolenic acid and the oleic acid from any one natural oil selected from the group consisting of soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, canola oil, palm oil, grape seed oil and a mixture thereof, and then mixing the same,
wherein the raw rubber comprises:
5 to 10 parts by weight of a natural rubber;
40 to 70 parts by weight of a solution-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber; and
20 to 50 parts by weight of a neodymium butadiene rubber,
wherein the solution-polymerized styrene butadiene rubber has a styrene content of 20 to 50% by weight, a vinyl content of 10 to 40% by weight, a Tg of −50 to −20° C., and comprises 20 to 40 parts by weight of an SRAE oil,

wherein the neodymium butadiene rubber has a cis-1,4-butadiene content of 95% by weight or more and a Tg of −100 to −120° C., and
wherein the reinforcing filler comprises:
65 to 100 parts by weight of a highly dispersible silica; and
5 to 20 parts by weight of carbon black.

2. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the highly dispersible silica has a nitrogen adsorption value of 160 to 180 m 2 /g, a CTAB adsorption value of 150 to 170 m 2 /g, and a DBP absorption amount of 180 to 200 cc/100 g.

3. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber composition for tire treads further comprises 5 to 20 parts by weight of a silane coupling agent selected from the group consisting of bis-(trialkoxysilylpropyl)polysulfide (TESPD), bis-3-triethoxysilylpropyltetrasulfide (TESPT) and a mixture thereof, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the raw rubber.

4. A tire manufactured using the rubber composition for tire treads according to claim 1 .
