Abstract: A rubber composition comprises a diene rubber including not less than 30% by weight of a modified conjugated diene polymer rubber and, per 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber, from 1 to 25 parts by weight of a tackifying resin, and from 25 to 80 parts by weight of a filler comprising not less than 50% by weight of silica. The modified conjugated diene polymer rubber has a terminal modified group comprising a functional group that interacts with silica. In the modified conjugated diene polymer rubber, aromatic vinyl unit content is from 38% to 48% by weight, vinyl unit content is from 20% to 35%, weight-average molecular weight is from 600,000 to 1,000,000, and glass transition temperature is from ?22 to ?32° C. A glass transition temperature of the tackifying resin is from 50 to 110° C. higher than the glass transition temperature of the modified conjugated diene polymer rubber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a bimorphological aqueous dispersion of first and second polymer particles, wherein the first polymer particles comprise a shell and a phosphorus acid functionalized protuberating core, and the second polymer particles do not comprise a protuberating core. The composition is useful for pigmented coatings formulations.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a rubber composition for a tire tread, which can produce a studless tire having both excellent performance on ice and excellent wear resistance, and to provide a studless tire using the rubber composition. The rubber composition for a tire tread of the present invention contains 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber (A) containing a modified butadiene rubber and from 0.5 to 25 parts by mass of thermally expandable microcapsules (B). The modified butadiene rubber is obtained by modifying an unmodified butadiene rubber with a carboxy group-containing nitrone compound. The content of the modified butadiene rubber in the diene rubber (A) is from 20 to 65 mass %.
