An elastomeric composition suitable for tires comprising

Elastomers and tires containing them

Elastomeric homopolymers and copolymers comprising at least one active group containing an alkali metal atom are chemically treated to incorporate at least one conjugated diolefin linkage. The chemical treatment consists of reacting the living polymers with 2,3-ethylenically unsaturated aldehyde or ketone and then converting the reaction product thus obtained to the corresponding alcohol and dehydrating the alcohol to produce the conjugated diolefin linkage. The chemically treated elastomeric homopolymers and copolymers are useful in any of the applications known in the prior art for the corresponding untreated homopolymers and copolymers. Moreover, the chemically treated elastomeric polymers may be reacted with an unsaturated monomeric dienophile through a 4+2 Diels Alder addition reaction and a polymer then grafted onto the chemically treated elastomeric polymer or the chemically treated elastomeric polymer may be reacted directly with another (different) polymer containing at least one dienophile group. When the polymer grafted onto or reacted with the chemically treated elastomeric polymer is an unsaturated polyester or a polyvinylester the resulting product is advantageously used as a modifier in thermosetting resin compositions. The resulting thermosetting resin composition as well as the molded products produced therefrom, will, in general, exhibit improved properties.

Elastomer comprising at least one conjugated olefin group and method of

An elastomeric homopolymer or copolymer is reacted with or, in effect, grafted onto an unsaturated polyester and the reaction product or graft polymer may then be used in a thermosetting unsaturated polyester resin composition. The chemical linkage between the elastomeric polymer and the unsaturated polyester is a cyclic structure comprising 6 carbon atoms. The chemical bond is achieved by first treating the elastomeric polymer to incorporate a conjugated diolefin structure and then adding the conjugated diolefin group to an ethylenically unsaturated group in the polyester or a monomeric dienophile. When added to a monomeric dienophile, the polyester is then grafted onto the elastomeric polymer at the site of the monomeric dienophile. The chemical linkage or bonding occurs through a 4+2 Diels Alder addition. The reaction or grafting effectively incorporates an elastomer segment into the thermosetting polyester resin composition and imparts improved surface characteristics and impact resistance without risk of destructive phase separation which has, heretofore, occurred when thermoplastic elastomers were incorporated into thermosetting polyester resin compositions.
