Recently filed patent applications of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in USPTO?

Publication number: US20220177610A1
Application number: 17/545,120

Abstract:
Novel functionalized rubbers having low hysteresis and good compatibility with fillers, such as carbon black and silica, have been synthesized. These functionalized rubbers, including functionalized polybutadiene rubber and functionalized styrene-butadiene rubber, can be beneficially used in making a wide variety of rubber products that have enhanced physical properties. These improved properties are realized because the functional groups therein improve compatibility with reinforcing fillers that are typically included in such rubber compounds. These functionalized rubbers are comprised of polymer chains of the structural formula:

wherein Polydiene represents a polymer chain which is comprised of at least one diene monomer and wherein R1 and R2 can be the same or different and represent alkyl groups containing form 1 to 8 carbon atoms. These rubbers can also be functionally terminated with a silicon containing terminator.

Publication number: US20220089844A1
Application number: 17/542,827

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a rubber composition comprising at least one solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, optionally at least one polybutadiene rubber, 55 phr to 200 phr of a filler, at least 15 phr of oil, wherein the filler to oil ratio by weight is between 3.5:1 and 8.0:1, and wherein the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the at least one solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is within a range of 400,000 to 1,000,000 g/mol. Moreover, the present invention is directed to a tire comprising such a rubber composition.

Publication number: US20220185017A1
Application number: 17/452,671

Abstract:
A non-pneumatic tire and rim assembly having a wheel having a first and second bead ring, wherein the non-pneumatic tire has a crown region and a first and second sidewall region; wherein the first and second sidewall regions each extend from the crown and terminate into a first and second respective bead area, wherein the first and second bead area are each mounted on the first and second bead ring, respectively; wherein each bead area is located axially outward of the crown region of the non-pneumatic tire when mounted on the wheel, and wherein the non-pneumatic tire further includes a reinforcement ply which extends from the first bead area to the second bead area.
