Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid pharmaceutical composition, in the form of a suspension of micronized powder of active substance in an acceptable physiological liquid medium, stabilized over time, for administration via the oral route.

Abstract: A tire enclosed in a vulcanization mold is supplied with heat to cause vulcanization of same. By thermal-detection probes introduced into the tire monitoring of the cross-linking degree reached in at least one first detection region and one second detection region disposed within the tire is carried out. Head supply is stopped on occurrence of the following conditions: (i) the crosslinking degree measured in at least one of the detection regions reaches a first reference value higher than 90% of the whole cross-linking; and (ii) the cross-linking degree measured in each detection region has overcome a second pre-established reference value not exceeding about 50% of the whole cross-linking.

Abstract: An elastomeric composition includes at least one elastomeric diene polymer, at least one thermoplastic polymer, and at least one polymer comprising functional groups. The at least one thermoplastic polymer comprises a main hydrocarbon chain. Hydrophilic groups are linked to the main hydrocarbon chain. The functional groups are reactive with the hydrophilic groups. The composition may also include at least one reinforcing filler. The at least one reinforcing filler may include carbon black, silica, or both carbon black and silica. The composition may further include a silica coupling agent, a sulfur-based vulcanizing agent, or both a silica coupling agent and a sulfur-based vulcanizing agent. A tire for vehicle wheels including at least one element including an elastomeric material, where the at least one element include the composition, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire for vehicle wheels includes a radial carcass, a tread band, sidewalls and beads, and a belt structure. The tread band is provided with grooves on its surface for coming into contact with the ground and situated on a radial outer surface of the carcass. The sidewalls and beads anchor the tire on a wheel rim. The belt structure is disposed between the tread band and the carcass. Additionally, a fiber-reinforced elastomeric intermediate layer is placed between the belt structure and the tread band. Methods for manufacturing the pneumatic tire are also disclosed.

Abstract: Method for improving processability and storage stability of a silica filled elastomeric composition, said method comprising adding to said composition a thermoplastic polymer having a main hydrocarbon chain to which hydroxy groups are linked, said polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of at least 8,000. Preferably, the method further comprises adding to the silica filled elastomeric composition a polymer containing functional groups reactive with said hydroxy groups. The polymer containing hydroxy groups is highly effective in reducing and stabilizing viscosity of the composition, even when used in relatively low amounts, while maintaining or even enhancing the reinforcement effect of silica on the elastomeric composition. The resulting composition is particularly suitable to produce tyres, and particularly tyre treads.
