Solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (SSBR) and SSBR with tert-Butylchlorodiphenylsilane (TBCSi, large-volume functional groups) at the two ends of macromolecular chains (T-SSBR) were prepared by anionic polymerization. The molecular structure parameters of T-SSBR and SSBR were characterized and the ratio of the amount of macromolecular chain ends connected with TBCSi to total macromolecular chain ends (i.e., end-capping efficiency) was calculated. The comprehensive properties of T-SSBR and SSBR composites filled with carbon black (CB) were investigated. The results showed that T-SSBR composites presented lower Payne effect (namely better CB dispersion) than those of SSBR composites, which led to decrease in hardness, internal friction, dynamic compression heat built-up and permanent set of T-SSBR composites, significant increase in tensile strength, elongation at break, tear strength and resilience of T-SSBR composites, and excellent balance between wet-skid resistance and rolling resistance. However, compared with SSBR composites, T-SSBR composites presented longer stress-relaxation time, bigger die-swell and higher apparent viscosity, as well as slightly inferior dynamic-cutting resistance. All the above, owing to the end-capping of TBCSi, which could immobilize the free chain ends of T-SSBR (i.e., to reduce the friction loss of molecular chains and create a greater degree of orientation in the force field), and adsorb CB, the comprehensive performances of T-SSBR were better than those of SSBR and T-SSBR terminated with styrene-TBCSi (T S -SSBR) were far superior to those of T-SSBR terminated with butadiene-TBCSi (T B -SSBR). Accordingly, the former was suitable for the tread of green tires.
