Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filler composition, more particularly, to a free-flowing filler composition containing, or derived from, silated cyclic core polysulfide, and to a rubber containing the filler composition.
- Rubber compositions reinforced with fillers such as, aluminas or aluminum (oxide-)hydroxides, of high dispersibility, and sulfur- vulcanizab Ie diene rubber composition, reinforced with a special precipitated silica of the highly dispersible type, are know in the art. Use of these fillers makes it possible to obtain tires or treads with improved rolling resistance, without adversely affecting the other properties, in particular those of grip, endurance and wear resistance.
- Sulfur-containing coupling agents used for mineral-filled elastomers involve silanes in which two alkoxysilylalkyl groups are bound, each to one end of a chain of sulfur atoms.
- the two alkoxysilyl groups are bonded to the chain of sulfur atoms by two similar, and in most cases, identical, hydrocarbon fragments.
- These coupling agents function by chemically bonding silica or other mineral fillers to polymer when used in rubber applications. Coupling is accomplished by chemical bond formation between the silane sulfur and the polymer and by hydrolysis of the alkoxysilyl groups and subsequent condensation with silica hydroxyl groups. The reaction of the silane sulfur with the polymer occurs when the S-S bonds are broken and the resulting fragment adds to the polymer. A single linkage to the polymer occurs for each silyl group bonded to the silica. This linkage contains a single, relatively weak C-S and/or S-S bond(s) that forms the weak link between the polymer and the silica. Under high stress, this single C-S and/or S-S linkages may break and therefore contribute to wear of the filled elastomer.
- silanes coupling agents in the preparation of rubber is well known. These silanes contain two silicon atoms, each of which is bound to a disubstituted hydrocarbon group, and three other groups of which at least one is removable from silicon by hydrolysis. Two such hydrocarbon groups, each with their bound silyl group, are further bound to each end of a chain of at least two sulfur atoms. These structures thus contain two silicon atoms and a single, continuous chain of sulfur atoms of variable length.
- Hydrocarbon core polysulfide silanes that feature a central molecular core isolated from the silicon in the molecule by sulfur-sulfur bonds are known in the art.
- Polysufide silanes containing a core that is an aminoalkyl group separated from the silicon atom by a single sulfur and a polysulfide group and where the polysulfide group is bonded to the core at a secondary carbon atom are also know in the art.
- core fragments in which only two polysulfide groups are attached to the core are attached to the core.
- polysulfide groups that are attached directly to an aromatic core have reduced reactivity with the polymer (rubber).
- the aromatic core is sterically bulky which inhibits the reaction.
- compositions in which the polysulfides are attached directly to cyclic aliphatic fragments derived by vinyl cyclohexene contain more than one silated core and form large rings.
- the cyclohexyl core is sterically more hindered than the aromatic core and is less reactive.
- these compositions can form more than one sulfur linkage to the polymer rubber for each attachment of the coupling agent to the silica through the silyl group, their effectiveness is low due to the low reactivity.
- the low reactivity is due to the attachment of the polysulfide to the secondary carbon of cyclic core structure. The positioning of the polysulfide group is not optimal for reaction with the accelerators and reaction with the polymer.
- the present invention overcomes the deficiencies of the aforementioned compositions involving silane coupling agents in several ways.
- the silanes of the present invention described herein are not limited to two silyl groups nor to one chain of sulfur atoms.
- the molecular architecture in which multiple polysulfide chains are oriented in a noncollinear configuration i.e. branched, in the sense that the branch points occur within the carbon backbone interconnecting the polysulfide chains
- the fillers of the present invention have advantages over that in the prior art by providing a means to multiple points of sulfur attachment to polymer per point of silicon attachment to filler.
- the silanes of the fillers described herein may be asymmetric with regard to the groups on the two ends of the sulfur chains.
- the silyl groups rather than occurring at the ends of the molecule, tend to occur more centrally and are chemically bonded to the core through carbon-carbon, carbon-sulfur and carbon-silicon bonds.
- the carbon-sulfur bonds of the thio ester linkages (sulfide) are more stable than the sulfur-sulfur bonds of the disulfide or polysulfide functional groups.
- the thio ether linkage also provides a convenient synthetic route for making the silanes of the present invention.
- the cyclic core also contains multiple polysulfide groups that are attached to ring by means of a divalent, straight chain alkylene group. The attachment of the polysulfide group to the primary carbon of the alkylene group decreases significantly the steric hinderance of the core, and increases the reactivity of the polysulfides with the polymer.
- the cyclic core orients these alkylene chains containing the polysulfide groups away from each other to further reduce the steric hindrance near the polysulfide groups. This distinction is what allows silane silicon to become and remain bonded (through the intermediacy of a sequence of covalent chemical bonds) to polymer at multiple points using the silanes of the present invention.

- the bonding of sulfur to a methylene group on R 4 and R 5 is required because the methylene group mitigates excessive steric interactions between the silane and the filler and polymer. Two successive methylene groups mitigate steric interactions even further and also add flexibility to the chemical structure of the silane, thereby enhancing its ability to accommodate the positional and orientational constraints imposed by the morphologies of the surfaces of both the rubber and filler at the interphase, at the molecular level.
- the silane flexibility becomes increasingly important as the total number of silicon and sulfur atoms bound to G 1 and G 2 increases from 3 to 4 and beyond.
- R 2 SiX 1 X 2 X 3 provides a convenient and cost effective way to bond the silyl group to the core.
- the sulfide group is less reactive than the polysulfide groups of the present invention and therefore is less likely to be broken during the curing of the rubbers containing the silated cyclic core polysulfides.
- the sulfide linkage of the silyl group to the core also makes it easier synthesize molecules with different lengths of the R 2 relative to R 1 and R 3 and therefore to optimize the chemical structure of the silated cyclic core polysulfides to achieve bonding between the inorganic filler, such as silica, and the rubber.
- fillers of the present invention can be used as carriers for liquid silanes and reinforcing fillers for elastomers in which the silated core polysulfide is capable of reacting or bonding with the surface.
- the fillers that are used as carrier should be non- reactive with the with the silated core polysulfide.
