A tire comprises an inner surface and/or outer surface with an accommodating region, an adhesive layer arranged on said accommodating region and a protective film arranged on said adhesive layer, characterized in that said adhesive layer is based on a block thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) comprising an elastomer block based on a diene elastomer comprising a molar content (or content by weight) of unsaturations of greater than 10%.

Tire ready to receive a member on the surface thereof

A pneumatic object or inflatable article is provided with a gastight elastomer layer. The gastight elastomer layer includes a thermoplastic polyisobutylene block elastomer and hot-melt polymer microdomains based on at least one thermoplastic material.

The present invention relates to a tire comprising a tread, a crown with a crown reinforcement, two sidewalls, two beads and a carcass reinforcement anchored to the two beads and extending from one sidewall to the other. The tread is based on at least one thermoplastic elastomer and on carbon black at a content by volume within a range extending from 5% to 30%, the thermoplastic elastomer being a block copolymer comprising at least one elastomer block and at least one thermoplastic block, and the total content of thermoplastic elastomer being within a range varying from 65 to 100 phr.

An inflatable article is provided with a layer impermeable to inflation gases. The layer has an elastomer composition that includes at least, as a predominant elastomer by weight, a thermoplastic styrene (TPS) elastomer and a platy filler. The platy filler has an equivalent diameter (Dv (0.5)) of between 20 and 45 micrometers, and has a shape factor (F) greater than 65.

A device for preparing a flat profiled element from an elastomeric thermoplastic gel includes: The free surface of the liquid cooling bath is arranged in an immediate vicinity of an outlet of the extruder die. Additionally, an angle of inclination of a plane of the extruder die to a horizontal plane is between 20 and 70 degrees.
