The present disclosure relates to a tire including a tread containing a rubber composition, the rubber composition satisfying the following relationships 1) to 3) when measured within 180 days after vulcanization: 1) Hso/Hsa×100≥95 wherein Hso: hardness at room temperature, Hsa: hardness at room temperature after heat treatment at 80° C. for 168 hours; 2) As/Ts×100≤70 wherein Ts: sulfur content before acetone extraction, As: sulfur content after acetone extraction; and 3) Swell≤330 wherein Swell: toluene swelling index.

A fluid system component can include a body that includes a multidimensional shape defined in orthogonal directions and layers stacked along one of the orthogonal directions, where at least one of the layers includes polymeric material and graphene nanoplatelets formed in situ from the polymeric material, and where the graphene nanoplatelets increase stiffness of the polymeric material.

The disclosure generally relates to a dispersion of nanoparticles in a liquid medium. The liquid medium is suitably water-based and further includes an ionic liquid-based stabilizer in the liquid medium to stabilize the dispersion of nanoparticles therein. The stabilizer can be polymeric or monomeric and generally includes a moiety with at least one quaternary ammonium cation from a corresponding ionic liquid. The dispersion suitably can be formed by shearing or otherwise mixing a mixture/combination of its components. The dispersions can be used to form nanoparticle composite films upon drying or otherwise removing the liquid medium carrier, with the stabilizer providing a nanoparticle binder in the composite film. The films can be formed on essentially any desired substrate and can impart improved electrical conductivity and/or thermal conductivity properties to the substrate.
