  • ADHESION OF A REINFORCING CORD FOR A RUBBER MATRIX
    Publication number: 20140374009
    Abstract: A method forms an adhesion joint between a cord and a rubber matrix. The method includes the steps of: providing a cord having an initial relatively smooth surface; texturing the smooth surface such that the resulting surface is rougher than the initial surface of the cord; depositing a uniform polymer coating on to the textured surface of the cord by plasma polymerization of an organic precursor and an air plasma; and inserting the cord into a rubber matrix such that the resulting surface provides enhanced adhesion to the rubber matrix compared to the adhesion of the initial surface to the rubber matrix or adhesion of the textured surface to rubber matrix.
