The Tire Tread

In direct contact with the road, the composition of the tread material, together with the design of the tread pattern impact rolling resistance, traction, and abrasion resistance. During the webinar we will present how different thermal analysis techniques help optimize these properties.

Characterizing Tires with Thermal Analysis

Different thermal analysis techniques can be used to determine the key properties of tires, which are critical for safety and performance:

• DSC measures heat flow of a sample to determine the glass transition temperature (T_g), critical for tire safety across different temperature zones, quality control, and material identification. DSC is also used to understand the crystallization and melting behaviors of tire materials.
• Flash DSC is an ultra-fast scanning calorimetry technique that reveals crystallization kinetics and polymer microstructure using very high heating rates.
• TGA measures the change in mass of a sample as it is heated. Key applications for the tire industry are compositional analysis and decomposition behavior.
• DMA is used to determine dynamic mechanical properties of materials, such as the modulus and damping behavior. It allows critical tire properties, such as rolling resistance or grip, to be directly predicted.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and advance your work with state-of-the-art thermal analysis techniques.
