摘要:
An elastomeric adhesive composition or cushion which binds various elastomeric layers together is solventless and comprises a blend of a bis-imide compound, one or more elastomers, and a tackifier. The elastomeric adhesive has strong blowout protection and can be utilized to form a laminate of a buffed cured tire carcass to a cured or uncured tire tread.

A method and an apparatus for preparing a tire target surface (40) for installation of an electronic device (34) such as a transponder apparatus of the type comprising a transponder housing and an antenna is disclosed. The method includes the steps: identifying a tire target surface (40) having a footprint configured to receive the electronic device (34) thereagainst; positioning the tire target surface (40) in an accessible relationship to cleaning apparatus (42); and actuating the cleaning apparatus (42) to substantially eliminate undesired surface agents from the tire target surface (40). Relative movement between the cleaning apparatus (42) and the tire target surface (40) may be initiated to create the desired target surface shape, such as an annular configuration, and to facilitate a substantial purging of undesired surface agents from substantially all of the tire target surface (40).

The present invention relates to tires and vehicular tracks having minimal-marking rubber treads and particularly to skid steering, fixed axle, tire/wheel or track assemblies where said tire or vehicular track has a minimal-marking tread. In particular, such rubber tread has a surface intended to be ground-contacting which is also intended to be minimal-marking and having suitable physical properties for a tire tread.

Disclosed is the use of a brominated polymer derived from isobutylene and p-methylstyrene monomers to decrease the spider flow of various rubber components used in the carcass of an uncured pneumatic tire. The amount of the brominated polymer utilized is in a range of 3 to 15 phr. The various components include the ply coat, wire coat, tread cushion, belt-edge gumstrip, apex, chipper, and barrier.

The present invention provides for oxygen scavenging materials (10) and uses thereof for reducing oxygen content in an air cavity (12) of a mounted tire (14), such as to reduce oxidation of a tire (14). The oxygen scavenging material (10) can include a metal or metal-based material, an antioxidant, or microorganism. In one example, the oxygen scavenging material (10) may be situated or secured within a tire cavity (22) or secured to the tire rim (16) prior to mounting of the tire (14) on the rim (16). Accordingly, the tire (14) is mounted on the tire rim (16) to define an air cavity (12) with the oxygen scavenging material (10) being located therein. The air cavity (12) is being filled with air comprising oxygen to a desired internal air pressure with the oxygen scavenging material (10) being provided in an amount sufficient for reducing oxygen content in the air cavity (12), such as to reduce oxidation of the tire (14) thereby increasing the lifespan thereof.

This invention relates to curable rubber compositions containing a fullerene form of carbon which is used as a reinforcing agent in the rubber compositions, the fullerene form of carbon being used in place of at least a portion of, or in addition to, the normally used forms of carbon black reinforcement additives. The invention particularly relates to tires having treads composed of such rubber composition(s). The fullerenes may optionally have surface modifications such as partial or complete hydrogen or functional group substitution. The fullerene form of non-conventional carbon reinforcement of rubber composition(s) may exist as discrete particles, aggregates of particles and/or agglomerates. The carbon fullerene has a lower specific gravity than conventional carbon black, thereby allowing a reduced weight tire or other article made from the rubber compound(s) for comparable volumes of carbon black used.

摘要:
This invention relates to the preparation of nanocomposites comprised of an elastomer and a dispersion therein of an at least partially exfoliated, intercalated, multilayered, water swellable clay (e.g. smectite clay). The invention further relates to rubber compositions comprised of such nanocomposites and tires and industrial products such as, for example conveyor belts, power transmission belts and hoses, which contain at least one component comprised of said nanocomposite or said rubber composition. A particular adaptation for such rubber composition is contemplated for rubber tire components, such as for example treads, where significant replacement of carbon black reinforcement may be desired to reduce heat buildup for tire durability and reduction in tire weight for vehicular fuel economy such as, for example, aircraft tire treads. The nanocomposite is prepared by addition of a water suspension of water swellable clay particles to an aqueous emulsion of anionic (negatively charged) elastomer particles to form a mixture thereof to which an amine having at least two amine centers in a form of a cationic (positively charged) polymeric quaternary amine or ethylene polyamine is subsequently added to both intercalate and at least partially exfoliate the water swelled clay particles by an ion exchange within the galleries of the multilayered clay with cation exchangeable ion(s) and to aid in promoting the elastomer and resultant clay particles to coagulate and form a nanocomposite thereof.
