How to improve S-SBR?

Advantages Bad point

Macro structure High molecular weight (less free chain ends) Lower tan Lower

Processability

Narrow molecular distribution (less free chain ends) Lower tan Lower

Processability

Less branch or graft structure(less free chain ends) Lower tan Lower

Processability

Microstructure Low vinyl content(lower Tg) Lower tan Lower grip

Low styrene content(lower Tg) Lower tan Lower grip and

processability

Functionalization Less free chain ends Lower tan(Good filler dispersion)

Lowerprocessability

How to introduce functional group in S-SBR?

1. Functionalization of the chain end

2. Functionalization of initiator

3. Functionalization of main chain with functionalized monomer

4. Functionalization of side chain

Why tan peak is higher in functionalized SBR compound?

Worse dispersionMore occluded rubber

Better dispersionless occluded rubber

Silica particle can move with rubber under the deformation

Only rubber can move under the deformation

No or week interaction with silica Strong interaction with silica
