A process for preparing a rubber article involves modifying the crosslinking density in one region of the article relative to another region of the article. The modification can be carried out by increasing or decreasing the energy transferred to the first region relative to the energy transferred to the second region during vulcanization. In one implementation, the process is conducted in a mold. Rubber parts described have two or more regions that differ from one another with respect to their crosslinking density.

Provided is a thermoplastic resin composition which includes: a rubber polymer including a first styrene-based monomer unit and a diene-based monomer unit in a weight ratio of 10:90 to 35:65 and having an average particle diameter of 250 to 450 nm; a (meth)acrylate-based monomer unit; and a second styrene-based monomer unit, wherein a weight ratio of the (meth)acrylate-based monomer unit to the second styrene-based monomer unit is 2 or less, and a weight-average molecular weight ranges from 130,000 to 250,000 g/mol.

A rubber composition for a tire tread chimney component includes a sulfur-vulcanizable elastomer and an electrically conductive polymer. The rubber composition is further defined by an absence of electrically conductive carbon black. The sulfur-vulcanizable elastomer is selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, polybutadiene, polyisoprene, styrene butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, and combinations thereof. The sulfur-vulcanizable elastomer and the electrically conductive polymer are substantially evenly mixed together. In the tire, and upon curing, the tire tread chimney component provides a dissipative pathway for static electricity from the tire to the ground in operation.
