Trans 1,4-butadiene/isoprene copolymers and tire with tread thereof

摘要

Trans 1,4-copolymers of butadiene and isoprene are provided as blends with other elastomers, including partial replacement of natural cis 1,4-polyisoprene in elastomer compositions. Pneumatic rubber tires with components composed of such elastomer blends, including tire treads, are also included.
