Star styrene–isoprene–butadiene rubber (SIBR) was synthesized with a new kind of star anionic initiator made from naphthalene lithium and an SnCl 4 coupled agent. The relationship between the structure and properties of star SIBR was studied. Star block styrene–isoprene–butadiene rubber (SB‐SIBR), having low hysteresis, high road‐hugging, and excellent mechanical properties, was closer to meeting the overall performance requirements of ideal tire‐tread rubber according to a comparison of the morphology and various properties of SB‐SIBR with those of star random SIBR and natural rubber/star styrene–butadiene rubber blends. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
