Influence of dispersion of nanofillersand interface interaction on dynamic performance of rubber composites

With increasing concerns in energy saving and environmental protection, the green tire with low rolling resistance, low heat build-up, and high wear resistance have drawn extensive attention in tire industry and academic community. In order to meet the requirements of green tire, the development of high-performance rubber composites with high dynamic properties and outstanding abrasion resistance is critical. However, the balance between the “magic triangle” of tire tread properties (wet resistance, rolling resistance and abrasion resistance) is challengeable due to many influencing factors. In this review paper, we mainly discuss the effects of the dispersion of nanofillers and interface interaction between nanofillers and rubber on the dynamic properties of the rubber composites. Particularly we have discussed the regulation of wet resistance and rolling resistance by using tan δ value at temperature of 0°C and 60°C as the measurement indexes.
