The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a masterbatch of diene elastomer and reinforcing inorganic filler in accordance with the invention comprises the following successive stages: bringing into contact and mixing one or more aqueous dispersions (B) of one or more hydrophobized reinforcing inorganic fillers, which coagulate(s) spontaneously with the said latex, and one or more diene elastomer latexes (A) in order to obtain a coagulum, without requiring a coagulating agent, recovery of the coagulum, then drying the recovered coagulum in order to obtain the masterbatch.

A process for manufacturing a self-sealing elastomer composition, said process comprising the following steps: a masterbatch, comprising at least one diene elastomer and more than 30 phr of a hydrocarbon resin, is firstly manufactured by compounding these various components in a mixer at a temperature or up to a temperature called the hot compounding temperature which is above the softening point of the hydrocarbon resin; and then at least one crosslinking system is incorporated into the masterbatch thus prepared, by compounding everything in the same mixer or in a different mixer, at a temperature or up to a temperature which is kept below 100 C., in order to obtain said self-sealing composition.

A thermoplastic molding compound that has proved to be extremely weather-resistant and low-emission containing the following components: A) 3-77% by weight of one or more styrene copolymers, component A; B) 15-89% by weight of one or more polyamides, component B; C) 5-50% by weight of two or more graft rubbers without olefinic double bonds in the rubber phase, component C; D) 1-25% by weight of a terpolymer of styrene, acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride, component D; E) 2-30% by weight of rubber based on olefinic monomers, component E; F) 0-50% by weight of fibrous or particulate filler or mixtures thereof, component F; G) 0-40% by weight of further additives, component G.

The present invention provides a master batch for rubber modification, the master batch containing a rubber component and cellulose nanofibers in such a manner that the cellulose nanofibers are well dispersed in the rubber, and the master batch enabling the achievement of a rubber composition that exhibits excellent ozone resistance and mechanical characteristics after being cured; and a rubber composition which uses this master batch for rubber modification. One embodiment of the present invention provides a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer composition which contains a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer and cellulose nanofibers. With respect to the hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer in this embodiment, the hydrogenation degree of a structural unit derived from a conjugated diene compound is 30% by mole to 99% by mole. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a master batch for rubber modification, the master batch containing 100 parts by mass of a first rubber component that contains 50% by mass or more of a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer, and 15 parts by mass to 100 parts by mass of cellulose nanofibers.
