In this research, a unique structure of silica-supported chlorosulfonyl calix[4]arene (SS-CSC[4]A) was synthesized and applied as a processing aid agent in tire tread formulation. A reference compound based on SBR/BR and other ingredients were considered. Then five other compounds were prepared in which resins C5, G90, SP1068, para-tert-Butylphenol, and the synthesized derivative of calix[4]arene were used as processing aid agents. Multiple characterization techniques such as elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and 29Si CP/MAS spectroscopy were used to characterize SS-CSC[4]A structure. The classical rubber technology tests including rheological test, tensile test, and dynamic-mechanical-thermal analysis (DMTA) were done. DMTA results showed a great decrease in tan δ values of the compound containing SS-CSC[4]A at 90 °C compared to other compounds, which means that constructed tires with this unique structure of SS-CSC[4]A as processing aid agents will consume less fuel for lower heat build-up.
