Effect of Filler-Elastomer Interaction on Tire Tread Performance Part III

摘要

It is generally accepted that abrasion resistance of tread compounds play a dominant role in wear resistance of tires. For filled vulcanizates, these properties are significantly affected by the filler morphology and its surface characteristics. The third part of this series will reviewthe effects of filler-polymer and filler-filler interactions on abrasion and wear. Both theoretical and practical aspects of these effects are discussed.
