Abstract
Abstract A method of bonding a polyamide plastics material to a rubber composition comprises heating the polyamide plastics material to soften at least its surface, contacting the softened surface with a rubber composition and allowing the polyamide plastics material to cool in contact with the rubber composition. The plastic-rubber composite produced by this method may be used in applications in which hitherto rubber-metal composites have been used, of which the following is a specification.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A method of bonding a substantially crystalline thermoplastic polyamide plastics material selected from the group consisting of nylon 4, nylon 5, nylon 6, nylon 6/6, nylon 6/10, nylon 7, nylon 8, nylon 9, nylon 10, nylon 11, nylon 12, and nylon 13 to a prevulcanized rubber composition, which is the vulcanizate of a rubber containing in excess of 5 unsaturated bonds for every 100 main chain carbon atoms, consisting essentially of heating said polyamide plastics material to fuse at least its surface, then contacting the fused surface with said prevulcanized rubber composition, which when based on a nonpolar rubber has had its surface pretreated by a chemical reagent selected from the group consisting of acidified sodium hypochlorite, concentrated nitric acid, an aqueous solution of trichloroisocyanuric acid, and sodium dichloroisocyanurate or UV radiation prior to bringing the surface of said prevulcanized rubber composition into contact with the fused polyamide plastics surface, and allowing the polyamide plastics material to cool in contact with said prevulcanized rubber composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim

A method of bonding a substantially crystalline thermoplastic polyamide plastics material selected from the group consisting of nylon 4, nylon 5, nylon 6, nylon 6/6, nylon 6/10, nylon 7, nylon 8, nylon 9, nylon 10, nylon 11, nylon 12, and nylon 13 to a prevulcanized rubber composition, which is the vulcanizate of a rubber containing in excess of 5 unsaturated bonds for every 100 main chain carbon atoms, consisting essentially of heating said polyamide plastics material to fuse at least its surface, then contacting the fused surface with said prevulcanized rubber composition, which when based on a nonpolar rubber has had its surface pretreated by a chemical reagent selected from the group consisting of acidified sodium hypochlorite, concentrated nitric acid, an aqueous solution of trichloroisocyanuric acid, and sodium dichloroisocyanurate or UV radiation prior to bringing the surface of said prevulcanized rubber composition into contact with the fused polyamide plastics surface, and allowing the polyamide plastics material to cool in contact with said prevulcanized rubber composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the prevulcanized rubber composition is the vulcanizate of a rubbery polymer containing in excess of 15 unsaturated bonds for every 100 main chain carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the prevulcanized rubber composition is based on a rubbery polymer selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, polyisoprene, styrene-butadiene copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer and polychloroprene.
