International Classification:

B05D 302

US Classification:

4273899, 4273722, 427375

Abstract:

A process for adhering synthetic textile fibers to sulfur vulcanizable rubbers comprising the steps of (I) immersing the fibers in an aqueous solution which is comprised of (a) 1% to 4% by weight oxazoline polymer, (b) 0% to 4% alkylene glycol monoether and (c) 92% to 99% water to produce coated fibers; (II) drying the coated fibers to produce subcoated fibers; (III) subjecting the subcoated fibers to an RFL adhesive dip to produce dipped fibers; (IV) drying the dipped fibers to produce dried dipped fibers; (V) placing the dried dipped fibers in contact with a sulfur vulcanizable rubber; and (VI) curing the sulfur vulcanizable rubber while it is in contact with the dried dipped fibers. Also provided is a composite article made using the process.

US Classification:

152451, 152527, 152556, 152565, 57902

Abstract:

Disclosed is a tire having at least one reinforcing ply in the carcass, belt, or bead region of the tire. The reinforcing ply is comprised of a blended fiber cord. The cords, in combination with a preferred cure temperature adhesive, achieve a high degree of thermal stability allowing for the use of such cords in various reinforcing plies for a pneumatic tire and for preferred use for such cords in areas of the tire subject to high temperatures either in curing or performance.

International Classification:

B05B 1/00

US Classification:

239589, 222566

Abstract:

A nozzle provides plasma polymerization. The nozzle includes a cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis, a coaxial conical inlet for receiving plasma, a radial inlet for receiving an organic precursor, a coaxial core outlet for receiving plasma from the coaxial conical inlet, and a coaxial toroidal outlet for receiving the organic precursor from the radial inlet. Outer sidewalls of the toroidal outlet extend to a bottom, outlet end of the nozzle. Inner sidewalls of the toroidal outlet do not extend all the way to the bottom end of the nozzle thereby providing partial mixing of the plasma and the organic precursor prior to deposition of polymer on to a surface.
