  • Publication number: 20060052496
    Abstract: A maleimide adduct of the present invention is a maleimide adduct represented by the following formula (1) or (2). This can improve a reaction at low temperature at the time of combination, decrease in workability due to scorching of rubbers at the time of roll kneading or the like, and physical property deterioration of vulcanized rubbers due to reversion, which have been problematic in the conventional rubber compositions.
