Application of Carbon Nanotubes in Tie-in Strip of Truck and Bus Radial Tire
The application of carbon nanotubes in the tie-in strip of truck and bus radial tires was studied.The results showed that by replacing 6 phr carbon black N375 with 2 phr carbon nanotubes,the Mooney scorch time of the compound was prolonged,the vulcanization rate was slowed down,the tensile stress,tensile strength and tear strength of the vulcanizate were increased,and the compression heat build-up was comparable.After the durability test and bead durability test of the finished tire,the degree of damages was reduced and the tire durability and bead durability were significantly improved.
