Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a devulcanized rubber obtained by mixing a devulcanizing agent having an alkylsulfonamide group and a vulcanized rubber. The devulcanizing agent preferably contains a sulfonamide compound of an alkylamine having 12 or more carbon atoms. The present invention also relates to a rubber composition comprising the devulcanized rubber. The rubber composition preferably contains 1 to 30 parts by mass of the devulcanized rubber per 100 parts by mass of a total amount of an unvulcanized rubber component in the rubber composition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A devulcanized rubber obtained by mixing a devulcanizing agent having an alkylsulfonamide group and a vulcanized rubber, wherein the devulcanizing agent contains a sulfonamide compound of an alkylamine having 12 or more carbon atoms. 2 . A rubber composition comprising the devulcanized rubber according to claim 1 . 3 . The rubber composition according to claim 2 , wherein the rubber composition contains 1 to 30 parts by mass of the devulcanized rubber per 100 parts by mass of a total amount of an unvulcanized rubber component in the rubber composition. 4 . A pneumatic tire comprising a rubber part obtained by vulcanizing and molding the rubber composition according to claim 3 . 5 . A pneumatic tire comprising a rubber part obtained by vulcanizing and molding the rubber composition according to claim 3 .
