Abstract:
A pneumatic tire which is used for a vehicle and obtained after a rubber material is formed by vulcanization. A cap portion (12A), which is an upper layer of a tread and directly contacts the road surface, is a foam rubber which includes innumerable elongated closed cells (24). The outer portion of the elongated closed cell (24) is coated by a resinous protective layer (26). During the vulcanization process of the tire, a resin whose viscosity is lower than that of a rubber matrix and a blowing agent which generates gas are kneaded with a rubber material so as to obtain a rubber composition. The rubber composition is formed in the shape of a band and adhered to a crown portion of a raw tire casing. The resin is melted by the heat of vulcanization and the viscosity of the resin is lower than that of the rubber matrix. The gas generated in the rubber moves toward and concentrates at the inner side of the resin. Accordingly, an elongated closed cell (24) whose outer portion is provided with the resinous protective layer (26) is formed.

Abstract:
There is provided a pneumatic tire having an aspect ratio of not less than 60 and considerably improving run flat durability as compared with the conventional type of the run flat tire, wherein at least one cushion rubber layer having a loss tangent lower than a loss tangent (tan &dgr;) of a coating rubber for cords of a carcass ply is arranged between an end portion of a belt and a reinforcing rubber layer in a shoulder region and between mutually adjacent tire constitutional members. And also, when the carcass is comprised of plural plies, at least one ply is separated off in a zone beneath the belt, whereby the ride comfort against vibrations can be more improved.
Abstract:
In a pneumatic tire for run-flat running comprising a stiffener rubber, viewing a cross-section of the tire-rim assembly inflated under an air pressure corresponding to 15% of a maximum air pressure of the tire, a top of the stiffener rubber is located inward from a specified line segment PA in a radial direction of the tire.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pneumatic safety tire comprising a pair of left and right bead cores, a carcass layer, a multi-layer belt portion, a tread portion, and a pair of side wall portions disposed at the left and right of said tread portion, wherein at least one sheet of a rubber-filament fiber composite formed from filament fibers and a rubber component is disposed at said side wall portions in a vicinity of said carcass layer. The safety tire of the present invention maintains the properties during ordinary use under the inflated condition at high levels, has a light weight, and shows remarkably improved properties during use under the run-flat condition.

Abstract:
A pneumatic tire for passenger cars comprises bead cores, a carcass layer, a tread portion, and side wall portions, wherein a rubber reinforcing layer having a crescent-shaped cross-section and at least one sheet of a rubber-filament fiber composite having a thickness measured under a pressure of 20 g/cm2 of 0.05 to 2.0 mm which is formed from a rubber component and filaments having a diameter or a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 0.0001 to 0.1 mm and a length of 8 mm or more are disposed in said side wall portions. Reinforcing cords of carcass plies are made of an aliphatic polyamide fiber having a melting point of 250° C. or higher.
Abstract:
A rubber composition having excellent heat resistance and a pneumatic tire produced by using this rubber composition are provided. The rubber composition has, in a curve exhibiting a change in dynamic storage modulus during elevation of temperature, an intersection of an extrapolation line of a portion in which the dynamic storage modulus is approximately constant before rapidly decreasing at temperatures higher than 100° C. and an extrapolation line of a portion in which the dynamic storage modulus rapidly decreases, at a temperature of 170° C. or higher.
Abstract:
A DVS-BCB polymer film is grown by heating a divinyl siloxane bisbenzocyclobutene (DVS-BCB) monomer in a vaporization controller with continuously supplying; supplying a carrier gas and maintaining a partial pressure of the DVS-BCB monomer at a state lower than a saturated vapor pressure, thereby to vaporize the monomer; transporting the carrier gas containing the DVS-BCB monomer from the vaporization controller to an evacuated reaction chamber; and spraying the gas on the heated surface of a substrate in the reaction chamber.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire for a passenger car having a pair of bead portions, a toroidal carcass portion extending over both bead portions, at least two belt layers provided in a crown portion of the carcass, a tread portion positioned at an outer peripheral side of the belt layer, and side wall portions provided at the right and left sides of the tread portion, and which further includes a steel cord as a reinforcing material for reinforcing at least one layer of the carcass portion and the belt layer. The steel cord is formed by plying a plurality of filaments each having a strand diameter of 0.125 to 0.275 mm, and has an inflection point on an S—S curve. A reduction rate of a diameter of the steel cord under a load stress which is one third of breaking strength in comparison with a no load condition is equal to or more than 20%.
