The present invention relates to compositions for elastomeric compounds for tyres, comprising polytetrazole cross-linking compounds characterized by precise activation temperatures, tyre components and tyres for vehicle wheels which comprise them. Advantageously, the present polytetrazole cross-linking agents give lower hysteresis and retention of the modulus of the compounds even under stress.

Compositions for elastomeric compounds including polytetrazole cross-linking agents and tyres comprising the same

The present invention relates to adducts between sphybridized carbon allotropes and pyrrole derivatives comprising at least one sulphur atom, and crosslinkable elastomer compositions comprising such adducts. The present invention further relates to tyres for vehicle wheels comprising at least one structural element comprising a crosslinked elastomer material obtained by crosslinking of such crosslinkable elastomer compositions.

Adducts between carbon allotropes and pyrrole derivatives, elastomer mixtures comprising them and tyres comprising such mixtures

A tyre monitoring device with an electronic unit enclosed in an encapsulation material. The encapsulation material forms a single body with an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion encloses and protects the electronic unit and the lower portion has a base surface aimed at fixing said device to the inner surface of the tyre.

Tyre monitoring device comprising an electronic unit and tyre comprising said device

The present invention relates to a tyre for vehicle wheels comprising at least one structural element comprising a cross-linked elastomeric material obtained by cross-linking a cross-linkable elastomeric composition comprising carbon nanotubes, wherein said carbon nanotubes are obtained with an iron oxides and/or aluminium oxides based catalyst substantially free of Co, Ni and Mo.

Tyre for vehicle wheels

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a vulcanisable elastomeric compound for tyres, characterised by the use of a particular vulcanisation-activating filler and by the methods of adding additives, in particular the compatibilising agent (silane), which occurs only after completion of the reaction between the activating filler comprising zinc and the fatty acid (stearic acid). The present process, advantageous in itself due to the possible reduction of the times and of the energy required for vulcanisation, allows preparing compounds which, with the same performances compared to the traditional ones, can have a reduced zinc content, and consequently a lower release thereof from tyres during use at an environmental level.

Process for preparing compounds for tyres and tyres comprising them

The present invention refers to a tyre for bicycle wheels comprising a tread band containing an anti-puncture system capable of having high resistance to the penetration of foreign bodies, simultaneously ensuring optimal handling performances. In particular the present invention regards a tyre for bicycle wheels comprising: a carcass structure; and&#x2014;a tread band arranged in radially outer position with respect to the carcass structure; wherein said tread band is made by means of vulcanisation of a cross-linkable elastomeric composition comprising a reinforcement system constituted by modified silicate fibres of nanometric size and fibrillated polymer fibres of micrometric size.

Tyre for bicycle wheels

The present invention relates to new vulcanisable elastomeric compositions for components of tyres, comprising modified silicate fibres as fillers. The silicate fibres are modified according to the process with controlled pH of the invention. In addition, the invention regards components of tyres, comprising elastomeric materials obtainable by vulcanisation of said compositions, and tyres for vehicles comprising one or more of said components. The vulcanised elastomeric materials according to the invention are characterised by good static and dynamic mechanical properties, in particular by particularly low hysteresis. Advantageously the tyres of the invention comprising one or more of said components have a limited rolling resistance.

The present invention regards a solid master elastomeric composition (masterbatch, MB) comprising silicate fibres with needle-shaped morphology of nanometric size, characterised by high fibre content and uniformity, a process advantageous for the preparation thereof and its use in manufacturing tyres for vehicles. Advantageously the present elastomeric composition allows minimising the drawbacks associated with the handling of the powdery fibres in the manufacturing of compounds for tyres, without altering the final performances thereof.

Elastomeric compositions comprising silicate fibres with needle-shaped morphology of nanometric size and tyres for vehicles that comprise them

The present invention relates to new elastomeric materials for the production of tyres for vehicle wheels with good mechanical properties, in particular high moduli associated with low hysteresis values, including new reinforcement materials. Said reinforcement materials are obtainable by derivatising silica&#x2014;in-situ during the mixing of the elastomeric composition, or previously&#x2014;with special silanising agents (A) and silsesquioxanes (B), both substituted with reactive alkenyl functionalities.

Moreover, the tire component contains elastomeric materials which are obtainable by vulcanization of the vulcanizable elastomeric composition. A tire for vehicles which includes one or more of the tire components is also described. The vulcanized elastomeric materials are characterized by having good static and dynamic mechanical properties, and particularly low hysteresis. Advantageously, the tire which contains one or more of the tire components has a reduced rolling resistance.
