  • Publication number: 20060213605
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of adhering a vulcanized rubber composition using a thermoplastic elastomer composition capable of maintaining recycling property and excellent in adhesiveness. The above object is achieved by the following method of adhering a vulcanized rubber composition. A method of adhering a vulcanized rubber composition of the present invention is a method of adhering a vulcanized rubber composition using a thermoplastic elastomer composition. The thermoplastic elastomer composition contains a thermoplastic elastomer and a filler. The thermoplastic elastomer has: a monomer unit forming a rubber component of the vulcanized rubber composition on at least part of its main chain; and a side chain containing a structure represented by a predetermined structural formula, the structure having a carbonyl group and an imino group, and/or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring.
