Abstract
The present invention provides plasticizers, compositions, and tires which can vary tire performance in response to temperature changes. The present invention relates to a plasticizer for resins and/or elastomers, containing a group that changes hydrophilicity with changes in temperature.
Claims6
A tire, comprising a tire component comprising a composition comprising:
- a polymer component;
- and
- a plasticizer for at least one of resins or elastomers, the plasticizer comprising a group that changes hydrophilicity with changes in temperature,
- wherein the amount of the plasticizer is 10 to 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the polymer component,
- wherein the plasticizer is an oil, an ester plasticizer, or a liquid or solid resin, and a polymer that shows a lower critical solution temperature in water is introduced into the plasticizer such that the plasticizer is graft-bonded to the polymer that shows a lower critical solution temperature in water, and
- wherein the polymer component is a diene rubber.
