- 5. The composite of claim 1 where said melamine derivative is comprised of hexamethoxymethylmelamine.
- 6. The composite of claim 1 where said melamine derivative is comprised of tetramethoxymethylmelamine, pentamethoxymethylmelamine, hexamethoxymethylmelamine, and dimers thereof.
- 7. A vulcanizable rubber composition comprising an unvulcanized rubber, vulcanizing agent for said rubber and said composite of claim 1 as a pre-formed composite.
- 8. The rubber composition of claim 6 where said rubber composition is vulcanized.
- 9. The rubber composition of claim 6 where said unvulcanized rubber is comprised of at least one sulfur vulcanizable diene-based elastomer, where said vulcanizing agent is sulfur and where said rubber composition is vulcanized.
- 10. The rubber composition of claim 6 where said unvulcanized rubber is comprised of at least one butyl rubber, halobutyl rubber and EPDM and mixtures thereof, where said vulcanizing agent is a peroxide vulcanizing agent for such rubber and where said rubber composition is vulcanized.
- 11. A vulcanizable rubber composition comprising an unvulcanized rubber, vulcanizing agent for said rubber and the reaction product of a methylene donor as melamine derivative of said composite of claim 1, as a pre-formed carbon black composite, and a methylene acceptor.
- 12. The rubber composition of claim 10 wherein said rubber composition is vulcanized.
- 13. The vulcanizable rubber composition of claim 11 wherein said methylene acceptor is selected from at least one of resorcinol, resorcinol monobenzoate, resorcinol rosinate, phloroglucinol mono-rosinate, phenolic cashew nut oil resin, and polyhydric phenoxy resin.
- 14. The rubber composition of claim 11 where said methylene acceptor is selected from resorcinol, phenolic cashew nut oil resin and polyhydric phenoxy resin and mixtures thereof.
- 15. The rubber composition of claim 10 wherein at least a portion of the rubber is a sulfur vulcanizable diene-based elastomer and the vulcanization agent is sulfur.
- 16. An article of manufacture having at least one component comprised of a rubber composition containing said composite of claim 1.
- 17. An article of manufacture having at least one component comprised of a rubber composition of claim 11.
- 18. The article of manufacture of claim 16 wherein said component contains wire reinforcement.
- 19. The article of manufacture of claim 16 wherein said component is exclusive of wire reinforcement.
- 20. The article of manufacture of claim 16 wherein said article is a tire.
- 21. The tire of claim 20 wherein the component thereof is selected from a tire tread, tire apex, tire sidewall insert, tire chafer or rubber encapsulated bead wires.
- 22. The article of manufacture of claim 16 wherein said article is an industrial product selected from at least one of hose, conveyor belt and transmission belt.
- 23. The article of manufacture of claim 16 wherein said article is a vehicular track.
