Provided is a tire having at least a circular tire frame formed of a thermoplastic resin material, the tire including a reinforcing cord member that forms a reinforcing cord layer on the outer circumference of the tire frame, and the thermoplastic resin material including at least a polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer.

Tire, and tire manufacturing method

Provided is a tire having a circular tire frame formed of at least a thermoplastic resin material, in which the tire includes a reinforcing cord member that forms a reinforcing cord layer on an outer circumference of the tire frame, and the thermoplastic resin material contains at least a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer.

Tire, and manufacturing method for same

A method for preparing multi-functional high-trans elastomeric polymers that have various applications such as in vulcanizable rubber compositions, moisture curable resin compositions, as well as other areas.

Multi-functionalized high-trans elastomeric polymers

A macromolecule including a polymer and a polyhedral radical chemically bonded to a terminus of the polymer provides numerous processing and performance advantages. Further functionalization of this macromolecule also is described as being advantageous in certain circumstances. Methods of providing, functionalizing, and utilizing the macromolecule also are provided.

Polyhedral-modified polymer

In one embodiment of the present invention, a curable sealant composition and method for its preparation are provided. The composition includes a polymer which is prepared by functionalizing a poly(conjugated diene) with a curable group such as a tetra-substituted silicon compound and then substantially hydrogenating the functionalized polymer in the presence of a Ziegler type catalyst. The composition can further include additional curable sealant ingredient selected from the group consisting of plasticizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, modifiers, curing catalysts/hardeners, stabilizers, and mixtures thereof.

Curable sealant composition and method for manufacturing same

A curable sealant composition is provided. The composition includes a polymer including at least conjugated dime contributed monomer units in a backbone of the polymer and terminal groups including silicon. The composition also includes additional sealant ingredients selected from the group consisting of plasticizers, filler, reinforcing agents, modifiers, curing catalysts/hardeners, stabilizers, and mixtures thereof.
