Provided herein are conductive formulations which are useful for applying conductive material to a suitable substrate; the resulting coated articles have improved EMI shielding performance relative to articles coated with prior art formulations employing prior art methods. In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, there are also provided methods for filling a gap in an electronic package to achieve electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding thereof, as well as the resulting articles shielded thereby. Specifically, invention methods utilize capillary flow to substantially fill any gaps in the coating on the surface of an electronic package. Effective EMI shielding has been demonstrated with very thin coating thickness.

The subject invention is directed towards tire components comprising rubber compositions comprising (1) about 2 phr to about 45 phr of a trans-1,4-isoprene-butadiene copolymer which has about 4 weight percent to about 16 weight percent butadiene repeat units and from about 84 weight percent to about 96 weight percent isoprene repeat units, wherein the trans-1,4-isoprene-butadiene copolymer has a Mooney ML 1+4 viscosity which is within the range of about 35 to about 80; and (2) about 55 phr to about 98 phr of at least one other elastomer, preferably a diene based elastomer. The most preferred tire components are those which contain cord reinforcements and require adequate green strength to enhance the tire building and shaping process to maintain cord integrity in the final cured tire.
