METHOD FOR ADHERING FABRIC TO RUBBER, TREATED FABRIC, AND FABRIC-RUBBER COMPOSITES

摘要

Maleinized imide polymer resins, optionally in solution and optionally comprising metallic salt of .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, the polymer being selected from the group consisting of butadiene homopolymer, butadiene copolymers, isoprene homopolymer, isoprene copolymers, and poly(maleic anhydride-co-alkenyl benzenes), are used to treat fabric and thereby improve fabric to rubber adhesion. Treated fabric and fabric-rubber composites and specific uses are also disclosed.
