| Résumé : |
The performances expected from a tire are described. The contribution of chemistry in reaching these performances is presented with several examples. Thus, elastomeric structures, filler types, antioxydant caracteristics, vulcanisation systems, and rubber and steel cord or textile fiber interfaces are related to the different performances grip, wear, rolling resistance, endurance and aesthetics. The fundamental contribution of analytical chemistry is mentioned for the understanding of phenomena and for the introduction of new tire components. The importance of rubber science and professional know-how is noted. |
