Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tire and to a crosslinkable elastomeric composition. More in particular the present invention relates to a tire including at least one structural element obtained by crosslinking a crosslinkable elastomeric composition comprising at least one diene elastomeric polymer, at least one layered material, at least one methylene donor compound and at least one methylene acceptor compound.
- the present invention also relates to a crosslinkable elastomeric composition
- a crosslinkable elastomeric composition comprising at least one diene elastomeric polymer, at least one layered material, at least one methylene donor compound and at least one methylene acceptor compound, as well as to a crosslinked manufactured article obtained by crosslinking said crosslinkable elastomeric composition.
- organic fibres such as, for example, polyamide fibres (in particular, aromatic polyamide fibres known as "ara ide fibres") , polyester fibres or polyolefin fibres, to elastomeric compositions, in order to improve their mechanical properties (both static and dynamic) .
- United States Patent US 4,871,004 discloses a composition comprising a crosslinkable elastomer and an effective amount of aramid fibres.
- crosslinkable elastomers which are useful for this purpose are: natural rubber, cis-1, 4-polyisoprene, polybutadiene (in solution or in emulsion) , styrene/butadiene copolymers (in solution or in emulsion) , butyl rubbers and halobutyl rubbers, EPDM, butadiene/acrylonitrile rubbers, neoprene, vinylpolybutadiene and, in general, polymers with viscoelastic properties, or blends thereof.
- Said composition ⁇ s said to be usable in all cases in which rubbers with, a high level of hardness and/or a high modulus are required, in particular in vehicle tires (for example as bead filler) .
- One of the reasons which justifies the use of the abovementioned fibres is the improvement in the structural strength of the crosslinked manufactured article.
- European Patent Application EP 691,218 discloses a tire component for a pneumatic tire comprising a reinforced crosslinkable composition, said composition including a crosslinkable elastomeric matrix material having dispersed therein an effective reinforcing amount of partially oriented fibres having a modulus of less than 10 GPa, preferably less than 6 GPa.
- a tire component may be reinforced with a mixture of a partially oriented fibres and fibrillated pulp fibres (i.e. Kevlar ® pulp).
- the partial y oriented fibres may comprise as specific examples, polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins, and a polymer selected from the group consisting of nylon 6, nylon 46, nylon 66, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) .
- PET polyethylene-terephthalate
- the above mentioned reinforced crosslinkable composition is said to have an improved stiffness without negatively affecting its remaining properties such as, for example, hysteresis and fatigue endurance .
- the mechanical properties of the elastomeric compositions may be also improved by increasing crosslinking density of the elastomeric composition by using a large amount of sulfur; or by using a large amount of carbon black, or a very fine and structured carbon black which has a high reinforcing capacity.
- the above ways of improving mechanical properties may lead to a number of drawbacks.
- the addition of organic fibres due to their poor dispersion may impair the processability of the non-crosslinked elastomeric compositions and therefore the quality of the finished product, both in term of mechanical properties and of surface appearance. This may cause a reduction in their tear resistance and detachments from the other elastomeric compositions present in the tire both during manufacturing process or during use of the same.
- the organic fibres have a remarkable anisotropic behaviour, namely they substantially orient in the direction of the shear forces exerted during extrusion and calendering of the non-crosslinked elastomeric composition to form a layer of elastomeric material (usually named "calendering direction") , so as to give to the tyre essentially a longitudinal rein orcement, namely a reinforcement essentially in the circumferential direction of the tire.
- the use of a large amount of sulfur may cause remarkable reversion phenomena, which result in modifications of the tire performances during use.
- United States Patent US 5,840,795 relates to a treated clay product comprising a hydrous kaolin clay surface treated with a multi-component system consisting of a functional silane, a methylene donor compound such as hexamethylenetetramine, and a multifunctional methylene acceptor such as resorcinol.

- the abovementioned rubber composition having improved tensile strength and elongation at break, is said to be useful in the manufacturing of rubber articles such as power transmission belts and tires, in particular tire tread band and sidewalls .
- layered material may cause some drawbacks.
- the use of a layered material as reinforcing filler may not be sufficient to achieve the desired properties.
- a large amount of layered material may be used.
- some drawbacks may be encountered in the elastomeric compositions so obtained such as, for example, a decrease in their tear resistance and detachments from the other elastomeric compositions present in the tire, in particular during the use of the same.
- a premature crosslinking of said elastomeric compositions may occur.
- the Applicant has faced the problem of providing elastomeric compositions having improved mechanical properties both static (in particular, tensile modulus) and dynamic (in particular, elastic modulus) .
