Researchers at the Kumho European Technical Centre in Birmingham, UK, are upbeat about a new nano-material they have assessed in tyre tread compounds.
Kumho's work indicates that the material, POSS-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-will be valuable in adjusting tread properties and have applied for UK patent protection for tyre use of the material.
Challenges for tyre tread formulators are currently focussed largely on the 'magic triangle' of rolling resistance, wet grip and wear, explained Gary Crutchley, a senior materials scientist at ...
