Abstract
Abstract Chlorothio-sulfonamide-modified rubbery terpolymers having a low degree of unsaturation, mixtures of such modified terpolymers with highly unsaturated rubbery polymers and vulcanizates of such mixtures. The vulcanizates are particularly useful in the structure of pneumatic tire sidewalls.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A pneumatic tire casing of toroidal shape, with outer tread portion and spaced beads and having a sidewall connecting said tread portion and bead, said sidewall comprised of a sulfur-cured composite comprised of 100 parts by weight of modified rubbery terpolymer in admixture with about 18 to about 670 parts by weight of a rubbery polymer comprised of at least one of cis-1,4-polyisoprene natural rubber, synthetic cis-1,4-polyisoprene, polybutadiene, butadiene-styrene copolymer with a butadiene/styrene mole ratio in the range of about 60/40 to about 95/5, butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer, polypentenamer of the type derived from open ring polymerization of cyclopentene, bromobutyl rubber, chlorobutyl rubber and polychloroprene, where said modified rubbery terpolymer is comprised of the admixture product of a rubbery terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, in a mole ratio in the range of about 30/70 to about 70/30, and about 0.1 to about 0.8 mole of non-conjugated diene per kilogram of terpolymer, and an N-chlorothio-sulfonamide, where said non-conjugated diene is selected from 1,4-hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 5-methylene-2-norbornene, 4,7,8,9-tetrahydroindene and 1,5-cyclooctadiene, and where said N-chlorothio-sulfonamide is selected from: N-chlorothio-N-methyl-methanesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-methyl-benzenesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-methyl-p-toluenesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-methyl-ethanesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-(2-propyl)-methanesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-(1-propyl)-p-chlorobenzenesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N-phenyl-methanesulfonamide, N-chlorothio-N,N',N'-trimethylsulfamide, N-chlorothio-N-methyl-N',N'-(pentamethylene)sulfamide, N-chlorothio-N-methyl-N',N'-diethylsulfamide and N-chlorothio-N-phenyl-benzenesulfonamide where the mole ratio of said N-chlorothio-sulfonamide to unsaturated sites in said terpolymer is in the range of about 0.06/1 to about 1/1.
