An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having excellent resilience. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a spherical core and at least one cover covering the spherical core, wherein the spherical core is formed from a rubber composition containing (a) a base rubber, and (b) a co-crosslinking agent containing (b1) a carboxylic acid represented by a structural formula (1) and/or a metal salt thereof. ##STR00001##
[In the formula (1), A.sup.1 to A.sup.4 each independently represents a nitrogen atom or a carbon atom. X.sup.1 represents a single bond or a divalent organic group. R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group. It is noted that at least one of A.sup.1 to A.sup.4 is the carbon atom, and X.sup.1 and R.sup.1 bond to the carbon atom. n represents an integer of 0 to 3. When n is 2 or more, a plurality of R.sup.1 may be identical to or different from each other, and a plurality of R.sup.1 may bond to each other to form a ring structure.]

Provided herein are isobutylene-based polymer compositions comprising functionalized isobutylene-based polymer with olefinic side chain substituents, and a sulfur donor and/or accelerator cure system. The functionalized polymer is produced via nucleophilic substitution reaction in solution. The present functionalized isobutylene-based polymer compositions together with various accelerators and sulfur donors can form thermosets useful for pharmaceutical and tire applications without the use of zinc or a zinc oxide activator.

Provided is a fluorosilicone resin and a preparation method thereof. Using pentafluorostyrene as raw material, pentafluorophenethyldimethylchlorosilane is prepared by a hydrosilylation reaction. By means of a polycondensation reaction of the pentafluorophenethyldimethylchlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane and tetraethyl orthosilicate, a pentafluorophenyl silicone resin is prepared. The preparation method adopts a two-step polycondensation process, which overcomes the disadvantages of a large difference in hydrolysis reactivity between pentafluorophenyldimethylchlorosilane and a copolymerized trialkyl-chlorosilane, and achieves a high yield. The obtained pentafluorophenyl silicone resin has the advantages of superior heat resistance, simple preparation process, low equipment requirements, high availability of raw material, and suitability for mass production. The heat-resistant fluorosilicone resin can be applied in a polymer material, such as a heat-resistant adhesive.
