The study of polymer interfaces is of prime importance in the field of tyre technology due to the critical role these contribute to tyre operation. The paper reviews the main polymer interfaces present in a t y r e g l ) tyre/road (tyre wear or abrasion; tyre traction/skid resistance); (2) polymer/filler (carbon black; silica): (3) polymer/cord (brass coated steel wire; textilcrayon, nylon, polyester, aramid); (4) compound/compound (tack); (5) tyrepair (oxygen/ozone protection)-with respect to the criteria required, physical and chemical, to achieve optimum performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
