Study on Solution-SBR Chain Chemical Structure with High-resolution 1H-NMR

With a high-resolution 1H-NMR the features of solution-SBRs chain structures have been analyzed and made quantitative calculations of the chemical composites, inparticular, the contents of butadiene isomers have been made. It is reveal that the Bayer solution-SBR, whose performance is highly recognized inthe tire industry, has a high content of cis-1,4 butadiene isomers, allow content of trans-1,4 butadiene isomers, and a medium contents of 1,2add butadiene isomers and styrene units, as well as that the butadiene isomers display orderly characteristics in the sequence. The above structural features determine that Bayer solution-SBR can play good role in the balance of the low heat building up, antiwetskip and antiwear properties of green tire.
