Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to vulcanizable rubber compositions containing a methylene donor and a hydroxy-aryl substituted monomaleimide. The substituted monomaleimides may be used as a replacement for resorcinol and function as a methylene acceptor. The vulcanizable rubber compositions exhibit improved rubber/reinforcement interaction for increased adhesion and tear in rubber. These vulcanizable rubber compositions also contain a vulcanizing agent.
