Effect of the Epoxide Contents of Liquid Isoprene Rubber as a Processing Aid on the Properties of Silica-Filled Natural Rubber Compounds

In this study, we examined the feasibility of using epoxidized liquid isoprene rubber (E-LqIR) as a processing aid for truck and bus radial (TBR) tire treads and investigated the effects of the epoxide content on the wear resistance, fuel efficiency, and resistance to extraction of the E-LqIRs. The...
