摘要:
A rubber composition is based on at least one predominant vinylaromatic diene elastomer, a reinforcing filler, a crosslinking system and a thermoplastic resin comprising optionally substituted polyphenylene ether units, said resin having a compatibility with said vinylaromatic diene elastomer such that a mixture of said vinylaromatic diene elastomer and said resin creates a composition having less than 10% of its volume in the form of particles greater than 2 micrometres in size. The rubber composition may be used in semi-finished tire articles and tires.

A molding element for molding and vulcanizing a tire tread. This tread comprises a tread surface intended to come into contact with the ground when this tire is running. This molding element comprises a molding surface intended to mold part of the tire tread surface and a blade of length L and of height Hc intended to mold a sipe or a groove in the tread, the blade comprising a rounded end extending along the length of the blade in a direction of extension X. The molding element comprises two cutting means positioned on either side of the blade at a certain distance from this blade. Each cutting means comprises, at one end, an alternation of peaks and troughs extending in this direction of extension X. The distance of these peaks in relation to the molding surface is greater than or equal to the height Hc of the blade.

The present invention relates to a tire comprising a tread, a crown with a crown reinforcement, two sidewalls, two beads and a carcass reinforcement anchored to the two beads and extending from one sidewall to the other. The tread is based on at least one thermoplastic elastomer and on carbon black at a content by volume within a range extending from 5% to 30%, the thermoplastic elastomer being a block copolymer comprising at least one elastomer block and at least one thermoplastic block, and the total content of thermoplastic elastomer being within a range varying from 65 to 100 phr.

A composite reinforcer capable of adhering directly to a diene rubber matrix, which can be used in particular as a reinforcing element for a tyre, comprises: one or more reinforcing thread(s), for example a thread or cord made of carbon steel; and a layer of a polymer composition which covers the said thread, individually each thread or collectively several threads, this layer comprising at least one thermoplastic polymer, the glass transition temperature of which is positive, such as, for example, a polyamide, a poly(p-phenylene ether) and a functionalized diene elastomer, such as, for example, natural rubber or a butadiene homopolymer or copolymer, bearing functional groups chosen from epoxide, carboxyl, acid anhydride or acid ester groups. A process for the manufacture of such a composite reinforcer, and a finished article or semi-finished product made of rubber, in particular a tyre, incorporating such a composite reinforcer are also disclosed.
摘要:
Method of manufacturing a tire tread having a plurality of raised elements, each having a contact face intended to come into contact with a ground when the tire is rolling and lateral faces connected to this contact face. The method of manufacture comprises: preparing a green form of the tire; laying a cover layer over all or part of an external surface of the green tire; laying the green tire in a mold; with the mold comprising a blade, using this blade to mold a lateral face of a raised element; vulcanizing the green tire to obtain the tire cutting the cover layer using cutting means belonging to the mold; during the molding of the lateral face driving with the blade a cut part of the cover layer into the green tire so that the lateral face of the raised element is partially or fully covered.

A molding element of a mold for molding and vulcanizing a tire tread, this tread comprising a tread surface intended to come into contact with the ground when the tire is running. The molding element comprises a molding surface intended to mold part of the tire tread surface and a blade of length L and of height H intended to mold a sipe or a groove in the tread. This blade comprises a rounded end extending along the length of the blade in a direction of extension X. The molding element further comprises two cutting means positioned on either side of the blade at a certain distance from this blade. Each cutting means comprises a cutting edge extending in the direction of extension, this cutting edge making an acute angle in a cutting plane perpendicular to this direction of extension, the height of this cutting edge being greater than or equal to the height of the blade.

A pneumatic object or inflatable article includes a gastight elastomer layer. The elastomer layer is formed of a material that includes at least one thermoplastic polyisobutylene block elastomer and a platy filler, such that relationships of: EX′/EZ′>1.2 and EY′/EZ′>1.2 apply, with Z being a direction normal to the elastomer layer, X and Y being directions orthogonal to Z, and EX′, EY′ and EZ′ being dynamic moduli in compression of the elastomer layer in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively.
