FIBER PROPERTIES REQUIRED FOR TIRES

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE OF TIRES ARE CHIEFLY DETERMINED BY THE PROPERTIES OF THE TEXTILE FIBERS AND BY THE WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE DISPOSED IN THE TIRE STRUCTURE. THE SPECIFIC ROLES OF SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES (E.G., MODULUS, TENSILE STRENGTH, FATIGUE RESISTANCE, HYSTERESIS) WILL BE RELATED TO TIRE PERFORMANCE. BELTED TIRES, AND ESPECIALLY RADIAL PLY TIRES, PRESENT A DIFFERENT SET OF REQUIREMENTS FOR OPTIMUM TEXTILE FIBER PERFORMANCE IN TIRES, SINCE HERE THE FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE TREAD REGION ARE SEGREGATED FROM THOSE OF THE SIDEWALL. THIS ARTICLE IS ONE OF SIX IN THIS ISSUE FROM A SYMPOSIUM WHICH REVIEWS CURRENT TIRE CORD APPLICATIONS AND TRENDS FOR THE NEXT DECADE.
