Abstract
A rubber composition is disclosed which contains not less than 20% by weight in a rubber component of a block copolymer composed of polymer or copolymer block units (A) and a random copolymer block units (B). The polymer or copolymer block units (A) are obtained by singly polymerizing a conjugated diolefine or copolymerizing the conjugated diolefine and a monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon with use of a lithium initiator and contains not more than 10% by weight of the bound monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon. The random copolymer block unit (B) are obtained by copolymerizing the conjugated diolefine and the monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and contain 15 to 80% by weight of the bound monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon. In the block copolymer, (i) the block copolymer contains not less than 10% by weight of each of the block units (A) and the block units (B); (ii) the total content of the bound monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon is from 10 to 40% by weight; (iii) the average content of the vinyl bonds in the conjugated diolefine portions is from 20 to 70%; and (iv) polymerizable terminals of the block copolymer are reacted with an isocyanate compound.
