| 摘要 |
The present invention provides an end-modified diene copolymer having excellent compatibility with silica as a reinforcement material, and a preparation process thereof, in which the end-modified diene copolymer is prepared by preparing a living polymer of a conjugated diene monomer and/or a vinyl aromatic monomer, modifying the living polymer with a reactive organosiloxane compound, and then modifying the end of the living polymer, to which the organosiloxane compound has not been coupled, with an organosilane compound having various functional groups. When the end-modified diene copolymer is used as a rubber material in the manufacture of a silica tire, the dispersion of silica in the copolymer can be improved and the bonding strength between silica and the rubber can be significantly increased, thereby manufacturing a high-quality silica tire. |
