Polar silane linkers are provided that attach to resins to form silane-functionalized resins. The functionalized resins can be bound to hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica particles to improve the dispersibility of the silica particles in rubber mixtures. Further disclosed are synthetic routes to provide the silane-functionalized resins, as well as various uses and end products that benefit from the unexpected properties of the silane-functionalized resins. Silane-functionalized resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the silane-functionalized resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, and wet braking performance.

The present disclosure is drawn to re-workable adhesives for electronic devices. In one example, a re-workable adhesive for an electronic device can include a hot-melt adhesive present in an amount from about 60 wt % to about 90 wt % with respect to the total weight of the re-workable adhesive. The hot-melt adhesive can have a reduced bond strength at an elevated temperature. The re-workable adhesive can also include a pressure-sensitive adhesive present in an amount from about 10 wt % to about 40 wt % with respect to the total weight of the re-workable adhesive, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive has a higher bond strength compared to the hot-melt adhesive when at the elevated temperature.

An adhesive composition for use in coupling together two substrates to form a structure, such as for use in coupling together two wooden substrates to form a wooden structure, includes a mixture of a modified guayule resin and soy protein. The modified guayule resin can be a base-solvent modified guayule resin or can be an HiCh-modified guayule resin each respectively formed from an unmodified guayule base resin. The unmodified guayule base resin is obtained in a rubber extraction process of guayule at solvent removal temperatures ranging from 104 to 166 degrees Celsius. The method for forming the adhesive composition includes forming a modified guayule resin and mixing the formed modified guayule resin with soy protein. The adhesive composition, when used in forming structures, provides enhanced wet shear strength as compared with adhesive compositions including soy protein alone.
