Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery that bis-(2,5-polythio-1,3,4-thiadiazole) in combination with a bismaleimide compound and a sulfenamide compound provides for excellent vulcanization of rubbers and results in an improved final rubber vulcanizate possessing superior physical properties and reversion resistance.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a resin-metal (complex) catalyst, a method for its preparation, activation and use in carrying out Fischer-Tropsch reactions. The complex is a resin which has attached to it a coordination compound(s) and a metal(s). The complex has utility as a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. More specifically, the complex is useful for the gaseous conversion of synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) to hydrocarbons.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The subject invention discloses the use of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene in the supporting carcass and/or innerliner of a tire. The incorporation of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene into rubber compositions which are utilized in the supporting carcass or innerliner of tires greatly improves the green strength of those compositions. The incorporation of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene into halogenated butyl rubbers which are utilized as innerliner compositions also greatly improves the scorch safety of such compositions. The subject invention more specifically discloses a pneumatic rubber tire which comprises a circumferential rubber tread, a supporting carcass therefor, two spaced beads, two rubber sidewalls connecting said beads and an innerliner; wherein said supporting carcass is comprised of from 1 to 25 phr of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene having a melting point which is within the range of 120.degree. C. to 190.degree. C. and at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of polyisoprene, styrene-butadiene rubber, and polybutadiene rubber.
