Sulphur Copolymers with Pyrrole Compounds as Crosslinking Agents of Elastomer Composites for High-Performance Tyres.

ABSTRACT: Driving a car at extreme speeds, road holding, and sustainability do not go together well. Formula 1 racing is exciting but is not an example of sustainability. The aim of this work was to use materials, suitable for the treads of high-performance racing tyres, that can favour both high performance and sustainability. In particular, the objective was to achieve high dynamic rigidity at high temperatures (>100 °C) and a stable crosslinking network. A copolymer from an industrial waste such as sulphur and a comonomer from a circular biosourced material were used as the crosslinking agent of an elastomer composite based on poly(styrene-co-butadiene) from solution anionic polymerization and a carbon black with a high surface area. The biosourced circular material was 1,6-bis(2,5-dimethy
