Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a rubber composition having excellent breaking strength. The rubber composition contains an inverse vulcanizate containing 10 mass % or more of carbon atoms and 30 mass % or more of sulfur atoms.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A rubber composition comprising: an inverse vulcanizate which is obtained by reacting limonene, dicyclopentadiene, and sulfur, wherein a content ratio of the carbon atoms in the inverse vulcanizate is 10 mass % or more, a content ratio of the sulfur atoms in the inverse vulcanizate is 30 mass % or more, and a content ratio (carbon atoms/sulfur atoms) of the carbon atoms to the sulfur atoms in the inverse vulcanizate is 31/66 to 40/56 in terms of mass ratio. 2 . A pneumatic tire produced using the rubber composition according to claim 1 . 3 . The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein a compounding ratio (limonene/sulfur) of the limonene to the sulfur is 0.1 to 2.5 in terms of mass ratio, a compounding ratio (dicyclopentadiene/limonene) of the dicyclopentadiene to the limonene is 0.01 to 1 in terms of mass ratio; and a compounding ratio (dicyclopentadiene/sulfur) of the dicyclopentadiene to the sulfur is 0.01 to 0.4 in terms of mass ratio. 4 . The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the content ratio of the carbon atoms in the inverse vulcanizate is 31 to 40 mass %, and the content ratio of the sulfur atoms in the inverse vulcanizate is 56 to 66 mass %. 5 . A pneumatic tire produced using the rubber composition according to claim 3 . 6 . A pneumatic tire produced using the rubber composition according to claim 4 .
