New modified natural rubber for enhanced tire tread performance

Sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based synthetic rubber are essential for the circular economy and the development of green tires. The presentation will introduce the application of new modified natural rubber as an alternative to SSBR in green tires. The results show that the modified natural rubber tire tread compound has better processing performance and excellent physical and mechanical properties. The special modification rubber compound has good silica dispersion and lower rolling resistance. The new modified natural rubber has great application potential to replace synthetic rubber rubber in green tire tread compounds.
