    Abstract: A modified polymer includes a diene-based polymeric chain and at least one end terminated with a blocked isocyanate group. The blocked isocyanate group may be the reaction product of an isocyanate and a blocking agent, and the blocking agent is selected, such that the modified polymer deblocks at temperatures of at least 100 C. An aqueous emulsion of the modified polymer may be provided that may be surfactant-free. The emulsion may be combined with one or more latexes to provide a treatment solution for a fabric or fiber that does not require the use of resorcinol and formaldehyde. Once treated and dried, the fabric or fiber may be used to impart tensile strength to rubber products, such as tires, air springs, flexible couplings, power transmission belts, conveyor belts, and fluid routing hoses.

    Abstract: A curable liquid rubber composition having improved viscosity stability is provided. The curable liquid rubber composition includes at least one functionalized crosslinkable polymer that is liquid at 25° C., contains at least one diene monomer in polymerized form, and is functionalized with one or more anhydride functional groups, one or more hydroxyl functional groups or one or more (meth)acrylate functional groups; at least one non-functionalized crosslinkable polymer that is liquid at 25° C., contains at least one diene monomer in polymerized form, and is not functionalized with anhydride, hydroxyl or (meth)acrylate functional groups; at least one metallic monomer coagent which is a metal carboxylate salt containing at least one (meth)acrylate functional group; and at least one inorganic filler. The curable liquid rubber composition has a total moisture content of not more than 1000 ppm, whereby controlling the amount of water reduces the tendency of the composition to exhibit an increase in viscosity over time.
