The present invention relates to a resin composition comprising: a base resin comprising a petroleum resin of which at least a part is hydrogenated or non-hydrogenated; and an additive comprising a modified C.sub.9 polymer having a structure in which a molecular weight modifier binds to at least one terminal of the two terminals of the petroleum resin of which at least a part is hydrogenated or non-hydrogenated. The present invention also relates to a gas barrier film comprising the resin composition, and a tire.

Disclosed herein are processes for preparing a resin-extended rubber by mixing at least one thermoplastic resin with a resin-rubber-solvent cement comprising at least one conjugated diene monomer-containing rubber and the resin-extended rubber resulting from such processes. Also disclosed is a resin-extended rubber-solvent-cement comprising at least one conjugated diene monomer-containing rubber, at least one non-polar solvent, and at least one thermoplastic resin as well as a rubber composition comprising a resin-extended rubber.

A resin sheet with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer including the resin sheet. The resin sheet including a main surface A and a main surface B opposite to each other across a thickness “d”, where the resin sheet has a 50% compression load of 20 N/cm.sup.2 or less at 23±5° C. in a direction of the thickness “d”, which is measured in conformity with a method of measuring a compression hardness described in JIS K 6767:1999; where the resin sheet has a Poisson's ratio at 23° C. of 0.10 or less; and the resin sheet has a thickness recovery ratio of 40% or more when compressed by 20% in the direction of the thickness “d” at 23° C.
