A vulcanizable rubber composition comprises an interpenetrating or ionic network (IPN)-promoting resin. The resin comprises side chain functional groups along the resin backbone, which, in the presence of an additive material, form the connections that make up the IPN. In one embodiment, such material is ZnO. A method for forming the rubber composition comprises, in a productive step, mixing the product of the non-productive step, the zinc oxide, and a resin derived from maleic anhydride. The zinc oxide and the resin are simultaneously added to the composition during the productive mixing stage. The rubber composition can be cured and incorporated in a tire component, such as, a tread.

The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising a (meth)acrylic polymer and a multistage polymer. In particular the present invention it relates to polymer composition comprising a (meth)acrylic polymer and a multistage polymer that can be used as a masterbatch. More particularly the present invention relates also to a process for preparing a polymer composition comprising a (meth)acrylic polymer and a multistage polymer by spray drying or coagulation.

This invention encompasses rubber modified asphalt cement compositions, as well as systems, apparatuses, methods for preparing, as well as methods for using rubber-modified asphalt cement compositions.

A hybrid polymer-matrix composite is described, containing between 10.0% and 45.0% by weight of cellulosic fiber up to 3.0 mm long and with a maximum moisture content of 5.0%; between 5.0% and 40.0% by weight of synthetic fiber up to 4.0 mm long and compatibilizing additives, said constituents being homogenized directly in the twin-screw extruder, with each reinforcing fiber entering via a specific feeder, to be adjusted to the temperature and shearing applied to the reinforcing fibers, guaranteeing the correct dispersion of the fiber for encapsulation by the polymer matrix, optimizing interface interactions and perfect homogenization.
