Rubber composite pneumatic tire

A method of mixing micro and macro fibers into a polymer matrix and products made thereby are provided. In the illustrated method, a micro reinforcing polymer (16) is mixed with an elastomeric base polymer (14) and preformed macro fibers (12) are added thereto. In one embodiment, the micro reinforci...

Summary:A method of mixing micro and macro fibers into a polymer matrix and products made thereby are provided. In the illustrated method, a micro reinforcing polymer (16) is mixed with an elastomeric base polymer (14) and preformed macro fibers (12) are added thereto. In one embodiment, the micro reinforcing polymer forms micro fibers in a resulting elastomeric matrix which is interspersed with macro fibers. A base polymer matrix interspersed with micro reinforcing polymer and macro fibers made according to the invention can be used in reinforced elastomeric products (10) such as tires.
