A rubber composition having an adhesion to a composition based on natural rubber, the composition being at least based on 5 to 95 phr of polyisoprene comprising a content by weight of 1,4-cis bonds of at least 90% of the weight of the polyisoprene; 5 to 95 phr of copolymer of ethylene and of a 1,3-diene of formula CH═CR—CH═CH, the ethylene units in the copolymer representing more than 50 mol % of the monomer units of the copolymer, the symbol R representing a hydrocarbon chain having 3 to 20 carbon atoms; and a crosslinking system. Also disclosed is a tire, in particular a tire provided with a sidewall, comprising this composition.

Rubber composition

An elastomeric laminate comprises at least two adjacent cohesive layers, the first layer consisting of a composition based on 10 to 100 phr of a copolymer of ethylene and of a 1,3-diene of formula CH&#x2550;CR&#x2014;CH&#x2550;CH, the ethylene units in the copolymer representing more than 50 mol % of the monomer units of the copolymer, the symbol R representing a hydrocarbon chain having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, from 0 to 90 phr of a diene elastomer having a content by weight of diene unit of greater than 50%, and a crosslinking system; the second layer consisting of a composition based on a diene elastomer having a content by weight of diene unit of greater than 50% and a crosslinking system. Also disclosed is a tire, in particular a tire provided with a sidewall, comprising this composition.

Elastomer laminate

A tire is provided with a tread comprising a rubber composition based on at least one diene elastomer, a reinforcing filler, a crosslinking system and a polymethyl methacrylate thermoplastic resin, the polymethyl methacrylate thermoplastic resin exhibiting a Vicat point, measured according to Standard ISO 306: 2013 B50, within a range extending from 60&#xb0; C. to 100&#xb0; C.
