Summary: | The materials or bionic methods available cannot further solve the contradiction between the wear resistance and wet resistance of tire tread compounds. In this study, a convex‐hull bionic tire tread compound was designed and produced according to the difference in wear resistance between two types of tire tread compounds. The effects of the bionic structure on the wear resistance and wet resistance of the tire tread compounds were explored by analyzing the changes in wear loss, wear surface characteristics, and wet friction coefficient. The wear resistance and wet resistance of the convex‐hull bionic tire tread compound were collaboratively improved. The largest increasing rate of wear resistance was 9%, and the largest increasing rates of wet sliding ability on sand paper surface and on smooth glass surface were 3.4% and 4.2%, respectively. The coupling design of materials and bionic structures offers a new way to improve the overall performances of tire tread compounds. |
