Abstract: A lithographic coating and method of framing a lithographic image are disclosed. The method comprises coating at least a portion of a surface of an article with a radiation-crosslinkable polymer, and exposing the coated surface to a pattern of radiation to crosslink the polymer in a lithographic image. The functionalized polymer is a copolymer of an isoolefin of 4 to 7 carbon atoms and para-alkylstyrene, wherein the para-alkylstyrene is functionalized with a radiation reactive group at the para-alkyl group of the para-alkylstyrene.
Abstract: An elastomeric composition comprising a major proportion by weight of a rubber comprising a halobutyl rubber (e.g. 75 to 95%) and a minor proportion by weight (e.g. 5 to 25%) of a copolymer of an olefin, e.g. ethylene, and an unsaturated carboxylic acid e.g. acrylic acid. This composition may be covulcanised with a general purpose rubber e.g. natural rubber, to which it has adequate adhesion. Thus a natural rubber tyre carcass may be covulcanised with a tyre inner liner formed of this composition.
