Modified natural rubber, method for producing modified natural rubber, rubber composition, and tire

摘要

The present invention provides a modified natural rubber obtained by adding a compound to at least one natural rubber raw material selected from the group consisting of a solid natural rubber, a natural rubber latex, and a natural rubber derivative and then irradiating the mixture of the natural rubber raw material and the compound with microwaves to graft-polymerize the compound to the natural rubber raw material, a method for producing the modified natural rubber, a rubber composition containing the modified natural rubber, and a tire produced using the rubber composition.
