The application of Uniform design in rubber formulation and its corresponding Group Methods of Data Handling modeling and Simulated Annealing optimization methodology are investigated. The example of NR/VBR (vinyl polybutadiene rubber with 80% of vinyl content) blend in tyre tread shows that Uniform design can distribute the experiment points evenly so as to establish mathematical models of high precision. With computer aided modeling and optimization technology, the optimum formulation can be predicted.
