Automotive tires are constructed from numerous components, each working in cooperation with the others to maximize overall performance. Two of the most important components are styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and butyl rubber, which appear in tires as the tread material and gas-impermeable inner lining, respectively. Tire performance is generally described in the tire industry by the 'magic triangle' that includes abrasion resistance (tire wear), rolling resistance (mileage), and traction (safety). Improvements in these areas offer direct benefit to Canadians by limiting the costs associated with the purchase of tires and fuel and tire waste, reducing emissions associated with automotive travel, and reducing the number of fatalities and injuries associated with automotive collisions. This NSERC Alliance project involves a collaboration between Professors Joe B. Gilroy and Paul J. Ragogna at the University of Western Ontario and ARLANXEO, a multinational company that produces both SBR and butyl rubber, with significant operations in Canada. It will create training opportunities for 1 postdoctoral researcher and 2 undergraduate summer researchers. Initial efforts will focus on the development of a method for the introduction of phosphine groups to the polymer backbone of SBR to create a new product known as phosphinated SBR (PSBR). Through collaboration with ARLANXEO, we will determine the optimal phosphorus content of PSBR required to promote interactions between PSBR and fillers used in the tire manufacturing process. We will test PSBR before and after it has been subjected to the manufacturing process and will assess the potential impact of PSBR on the 'magic triangle' of tire performance. As the project proceeds, similar studies for butyl rubber may also be conducted. The development of PSBR has excellent potential to generate economic activity for Canada as the global markets for SBR and butyl rubber are worth more than 4 billion USD annually and ARLANXEO is the largest producer of SBR globally. This economic activity will create jobs and generate wealth for Canadians.

汽车轮胎由许多组件构建，每个组件都与其他组件合作以最大程度地提高整体性能。最重要的两个组件是苯乙烯丁二烯橡胶（SBR）和丁基橡胶，它们分别以胎面材料和可渗透气体的内衬里出现。轮胎性能在轮胎行业中通常由“魔术三角”在轮胎行业中描述，其中包括耐磨性（轮胎磨损），滚动阻力（里程）和牵引力（安全）。这些领域的改善通过限制与购买轮胎和燃料和轮胎浪费相关的成本，从而为加拿大人提供直接利益，从而减少与汽车旅行相关的排放，并减少与汽车碰撞相关的死亡人数和伤害的数量。这个NSERC联盟项目涉及乔·B·吉尔罗伊（Joe B. Gilroy）教授和西安大大学（University of Western Ontario）的Paul J. Ragogna和Paul J. Ragogna和一家生产SBR和丁基橡胶的跨国公司Arlanxeo，在加拿大拥有大量业务。它将为1名博士后研究员和2名本科夏季研究人员创造培训机会。最初的努力将着重于开发一种将磷酸基团引入SBR聚合物骨架的方法，以创建一种新产品，称为磷酸SBR（PSBR）。通过与Arlanxeo的合作，我们将确定PSBR的最佳磷含量，以促进轮胎制造过程中使用的PSBR和填充剂之间的相互作用。我们将在经过制造过程之前和之后测试PSBR，并评估PSBR对轮胎性能的“魔术三角”的潜在影响。随着项目的进行，也可以对丁基橡胶进行类似的研究。 PSBR的发展具有极大的潜力，可以为加拿大带来经济活动，因为SBR和丁基橡胶的全球市场每年价值超过40亿美元，而Arlanxeo是全球SBR最大的生产商。这种经济活动将创造就业机会，并为加拿大人创造财富。
