A hot-melt magnetic tape for a foam molded body, the tape having a magnetic layer formed from a hot-melt magnetic material, where the hot-melt magnetic material has a ring and ball softening point of 105° C. or more and 140° C. or less, and the hot-melt magnetic material includes: a thermoplastic resin containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (A); and a magnetic powder (C), and, optionally, further includes a wax (B), where 20 to 80% by mass of the component (A), 0 to 8% by mass of the component (B), and 15 to 80% by mass of the component (C) are contained in 100% by mass in total of the component (A), component (B), and component (C), and a structural unit derived from a vinyl acetate monomer for the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (A) accounts for 15 to 30% by mass.

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.

Modified thermoplastic hydrocarbon thermoplastic resins are provided, as well as methods of their manufacture and uses thereof in rubber compositions. The modified thermoplastic resins are modified by decreasing the relative quantity of the dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer oligomers as compared to the corresponding unmodified thermoplastic resin polymers, resulting in a product that exhibits a greater shift in the glass transition temperature of the elastomer(s) used in tire formulations. This translates to better viscoelastic predictors of tire tread performance, such as wet grip and rolling resistance. The modified thermoplastic resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the modified thermoplastic resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, snow performance, and wet braking performance.
