Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 35 words
A process for modifying a rubber, which comprises reacting a rubber having an unsaturated carbon linkage with an organic compound having a carboxyl group and an aldehyde group in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 35 words
A process for modifying a rubber, which comprises reacting a rubber having an unsaturated carbon linkage with an organic compound having a carboxyl group and an aldehyde group in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the rubber having an unsaturated carbon linkage is a rubber derived from a diene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the rubber having an unsaturated carbon linkage is an isoprene homopolymer rubber or a copolymer rubber of isoprene with another comonomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the organic compound having a carboxyl group and an aldehyde group is an aromatic compound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 58 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the organic compound having a carboxyl group and an aldehyde group is an organic compound having an aromatic ring in which the carboxyl group or an atomic grouping containing this group and the aldehyde group or an atomic grouping containing this group are located adjacent to each other on the aromatic ring.
