Abstract: The present invention relates to new antioxidant and antiozonant elastomeric compositions for tyres, characterized by reduced volatility of the active compounds, improved processability and environmental sustainability, increased anti-degradation efficacy and improved surface appearance. In particular, the elastomeric compositions of the inventions comprise Salts formed by acids AC of formula (I) and amines AM of formula (II) The elastomeric compositions of the inventions are particularly suitable for the manufacture of tyre components such as sidewalls, treads and anti-abrasive layer, components that in the tyre are particularly subject to wear due to the combination of the degrading action of ozone and mechanical stresses.

Abstract: A tire for wheels of vehicles, in particular motor vehicles, is described. The tire has a tread with at least one iso-styrene/trans-butadiene elastomeric copolymer with a styrene content higher than 30% by weight with respect to the total weight of copolymer and a molecular weight higher than 500,000. The tread has improved dynamic-mechanical behaviour at high temperatures, with higher dynamic modulus and hysteresis values, and at the same time better properties at break, optimum elasticity at low temperature and higher abrasion resistance.

Abstract: A tyre for wheels of vehicles, in particular motor vehicles, is described. The tyre has a tread with at least one copolymer selected from iso-styrene: diene-terminated copolymers. The tread has less sensitivity to the effects of temperature, with less weakness, better consistency of performances, and improved characteristics in terms of grip and/or resistance to laceration.

Abstract: A vulcanisable elastomeric composition for tyre component is described. The vulcanisable elastomeric composition includes modified silicate fibres as fillers. Moreover, the tyre component contains elastomeric materials which are obtainable by vulcanisation of the vulcanisable elastomeric composition. A tyre for vehicles which includes one or more of the tyre components is also described. The vulcanised elastomeric materials are characterised by having good static and dynamic mechanical properties, and particularly low hysteresis. Advantageously, the tyre which contains one or more of the tyre components has a reduced rolling resistance.

Abstract: A (iso-styrene/trans-butadiene):diene-terminated copolymer is described which includes (i) a polymeric block of styrene-butadiene consisting of a random sequence of butadiene in trans conformation and styrene in isotactic configuration, and (ii) a terminal polymeric block consisting of a sequence of one or more dienic monomers.

Abstract: An iso-styrene:diene-terminated copolymer is described which includes (i) a polymeric block of styrene and/or substituted styrene consisting of a sequence of styrene and/or substituted styrene in isotactic configuration, and (ii) a terminal polymeric block consisting of a sequence of one or more dienic monomers.

Abstract: A soundproof tyre and a process for the production thereof. The tyre includes particular polyolefin sound absorbent foams that provide damping for noise generated in a cavity of the tyre, together with resistance to hydrolysis, poor water absorption and an unexpected thermal and mechanical stability in use conditions. The sound absorbent material is applied on at least a portion of a radially inner surface of the tyre. The portion of the radially inner surface includes an impermeable elastomeric material layer. The sound absorbent material includes a foamed polyolefin material with closed macrocells having an average size of at least 1.5 mm according to ASTM D357 6.
