Abstract
Abstract A composite rubber article is obtained by joining a rubber composition based on a brominated p-methylstyrene/isobutylene copolymer to a different material such as a plastic, inorganic and metallic material through a di-, tri- or tetra-alkoxysilane compound. The copolymer is firmly joined to the different material. The invention is applicable to the manufacture of composite rubber articles such as tires, high-pressure hoses, and pneumatic springs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A rubber tube comprising, in order starting from the outside: (a) a rubber composition layer comprising a rubber component comprising a copolymer of 98 to 80% by weight of isobutylene and 2 to 20% by weight of a brominated para-methylstyrene with the degree of bromination of the copolymer being 10 to 80%, (b) a layer comprising an alkoxysilane compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 is a saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group or alkoxy group, and each of R 3 and R 4 is a saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group, and (c) a resinous material layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A rubber tube comprising, in order starting from the outside: (a) a rubber composition layer comprising a rubber component comprising a copolymer of 98 to 80% by weight of isobutylene and 2 to 20% by weight of a brominated para-methylstyrene with the degree of bromination of the copolymer being 10 to 80%, (b) a layer comprising an alkoxysilane compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 is a saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group or alkoxy group, and each of R 3 and R 4 is a saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group, and (c) a resinous material layer.
