Abstract: Disclosed are a photopolymerizable mixture and photopolymerizable copy materials made therefrom. The mixture contains a polymerizable compound having terminal acrylic or methacrylic acid ester groups and being selected from a compound of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a naphthylene group, a biphenyldiyl group or a dinaphthyl-methanediyl group or a group formed by two phenylene groups which are linked by a bridge comprised of an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, a sulfone group or an alkylene group which is substituted by at least one carboxylic acid group, carboxylic acid alkyl ester groups, halogen atom or phenyl group, or by such a substituted alkylene group which is connected to the group R.sub.1 of another molecule via said substituent;R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; andm is 0 or 1, m being 1 if R.sub.1 is a naphthylene group or a biphenyldiyl group.

Abstract: The inner surface of a green tire provided with an air-sealing liner, is cured or partially cured to produce a steam- and water-resistant surface, and the tire after such treatment is cured in a usual press with or without an air-bag or bladder.One or more tread layers or outer fabric plies, are partially cured before assembly in the tire, so as to shorten the curing time of the tire in the mold and thereby create substantial savings.New tires are made by placing a carcass, whether green or partially cured, in a mold and extruding rubber over the outer surface of this carcass to fill the mold, and then giving the final cure to the resulting tire.Tires are retreaded by applying ribbons of tread stock over the carcass prepared in any conventional manner, and then completing the cure without the use of a mold.Retreaded tires are cured by placing a carcass prepared in any conventional manner, in a mold, extruding tread stock into the mold around the carcass, and then curing.
