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
