Abstract:
A method is provided for splicing a conveyor belt having vulcanized rubber with steel strands embedded in the vulcanized rubber, comprising the steps of exposing a plurality of strands at two belt ends, and applying a vulcanizable rubber composition to the exposed strands to form a spliced joint between the two belt ends, the vulcanizable rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of rubber, and the rubber comprising from about 1 to about 20 parts by weight of syndiotactic polybutadiene.
Abstract:
A styrene, isoprene, butadiene terpolymer rubber with a characterization according to its glass transition temperatures and unit structure and a pneumatic tire with a tread composed of such terpolymer rubber specifically in combination with selected other rubber.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a tire with a tread which is reinforced with silica where the tread rubbers are of a blend of emulsion SBR with medium to high styrene content, isoprene/butadiene copolymer rubber, cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber and natural rubber.
Abstract:
A styrene, isoprene, butadiene terpolymer rubber with a characterization according to its glass transition temperatures and unit structure and a pneumatic tire with a tread composed of such terpolymer rubber specifically in combination with selected other rubber which has been observed to provide such tread with enhanced physical properties.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rubber tire composed of carbon black reinforced rubber carcass and having a rubber tread which is composed of a unitary, co-extrusion of tread cap, base and miniwings and, wherein a portion of the miniwings extend as a thin layer over a portion of the tread cap's outer surface to create a path of reduced electrical resistivity.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tire with a tread which is reinforced with a quantitative amount of silica, including a silica coupler, where the tread rubbers are of a blend comprised of styrene/isoprene/butadiene terpolymer rubber and cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber or styrene/isoprene/butadiene terpolymer rubber, cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber and isoprene/butadiene copolymer rubber. Optionally, the rubber blend can contain a minor amount of cis 1,4-polyisoprene natural rubber.
