  • Publication number: 20240059100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for elastomeric compounds for tyres, in particular for tyre treads, comprising particular reversible cross-linking agents, tyre components and tyres for vehicle wheels which comprise them. The present elastomeric compounds, due to their particular hysteretic behaviour, allow manufacturing tyres characterised by a lower rolling resistance during moderate driving and at the same time greater resistance to tearing and road grip during sports driving.

  • Patent number: 10787576
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a coating comprising at least one coating layer on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of a. providing monomers of the type R—(N)x-(L)m-(C?C)n-(L?)o-(N?)y—R?, wherein R is a head moiety, R? is a tail moiety, (C?C)n is an oligoyne moiety, L and L? are linker moieties, N and N? independently are branched or unbranched optionally substituted C1-C25 alkyl moieties optionally containing 1 to 5 heteroatoms, x, m, o, and y are independently 0 or 1, n is 4 to 12, and wherein the head moiety allows for an interaction with the surface of the substrate; b. bringing the monomers into contact with the substrate wherein the interaction of the head moieties of the monomers with the surface of the substrate induces at least a part of the monomers to align in a defined manner thereby forming a film on the surface and bringing the oligoyne moieties of the monomers into close contact with each other; c.

  • Publication number: 20180171152
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a coating comprising at least one coating layer on a solid substrate, said method comprising the steps of a, providing monomers of the type R—(N)x-(L)m-(C?C)n-(L?]o(N?)y—R?, wherein R is a head moiety, R? is a tail moiety, (C?C)n is an oligoyne moiety, L and L? are linker moieties, N and N? independently are branched or unbranched optionally substituted C1-C25 alkyl moieties optionally containing 1 to 5 heteroatoms, x, m, o, and y are independently 0 or 1, n is 4 to 12, and wherein said head moiety allows for an interaction with the surface of said solid substrate; b. bringing said monomers into contact with said solid substrate wherein said interaction of said head moieties of said monomers with the surface of said solid substrate induces at least a part of said monomers to align in a defined manner thereby forming a film on said surface and bringing said oligoyne moieties of said monomers into close contact with each other; c.
