Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition including at least one elastomer, and a hydrocarbon polymer additive having a dicyclopentadiene, cyclopentadiene, and methylcyclopentadiene derived content of about 40 wt % to about 80 wt % of the total weight of the hydrocarbon polymer additive, a weight average molecular weight of about 100 g/mole to about 800 g/mole, and a softening point of about 110° C. to about 150° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM D6090.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A tire tread comprising a composition comprising: about 33 wt % to about 75 wt % of at least one elastomer, and about 3 wt % to about 10 wt % of a hydrocarbon polymer additive comprising all three of a dicyclopentadiene, cyclopentadiene, and methylcyclopentadiene derived aggregate content of about 40 wt % to about 80 wt % of the total weight of the hydrocarbon polymer additive, a weight average molecular weight of about 100 g/mole to about 800 g/mole, and a softening point of about 110° C. to about 140° C. as determined in accordance with ASTM D6090; and wherein the tire tread has a tan delta at 60° C. of 0.206 to 0.203; a tan delta at −15° C. of 0.642 to 0.672 and a modulus at 300% of 1366 to 1464 psi. 2. The tire tread of claim 1 , wherein the weight average molecular weight of the hydrocarbon polymer additive is about 200 g/mole to about 600 g/mole. 3. The tire tread of claim 1 , wherein the softening point of the hydrocarbon polymer additive is about 115° C. to about 140° C. 4. The tire tread of claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon polymer additive further comprises one or more aromatic hydrocarbon components. 5. The tire tread of claim 4 , wherein the one or more aromatic hydrocarbon components comprises one or more of styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, beta-methylstyrene, indene, methylindenes, and vinyl toluenes. 6. The tire tread of claim 1 , wherein the weight average molecular weight of the hydrocarbon polymer additive ranges from greater than about 400 g/mol to about 800 g/mole, and wherein the tire tread has a tan delta at 0° C. of 0.429 to 0.45.
