Claims
- 1. A rubber/textile composite comprisinga textile comprising fibers, wherein said textile possesses a coating on at least a portion of said fibers comprising at least one layer of a tacky vinyl compound plasma-generated composition; resorcinol-formaldehyde latex adhered to said at least one layer of a tacky vinyl compound plasma-generated composition; and a layer of rubber coated over said resorcinol-formaldehyde latex.

- 3. The rubber/textile composite of claim 1 wherein said tacky vinyl compound plasma-generated composition vinyl-based compounds comprises vinyl compounds selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, ethylene, butadiene, vinyl pyridine, and any mixtures thereof.
- 4. The rubber/textile composite of claim 2 wherein said textile fibers selected from the group consisting of polyaramids, polyesters, and any blends thereof.
- 5. The rubber/textile composite of claim 1 wherein said rubber layer comprises at least one rubber compound selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, polyurethane rubber, neoprene, viton, ascium, hypalon, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), carboxylated SBR, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), hydrogenated NBR, butyl rubber, fluorinated rubber, and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), chlorobutyl rubber, bromobutyl rubber, and any mixtures thereof.
- 6. The rubber/textile composite of claim 2 wherein said rubber layer comprises at least one rubber compound selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, polyurethane rubber, neoprene, viton, ascium, hypalon, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), carboxylated SBR, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), hydrogenated NBR, butyl rubber, fluorinated rubber, and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), chlorobutyl rubber, bromobutyl rubber, and any mixtures thereof.
- 7. The rubber/textile composite of claim 3 wherein said rubber layer comprises at least one rubber compound selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, polyurethane rubber, neoprene, viton, ascium, hypalon, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), carboxylated SBR, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), hydrogenated NBR, butyl rubber, fluorinated rubber, and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), chlorobutyl rubber, bromobutyl rubber, and any mixtures thereof.
- 8. The rubber/textile composite of claim 4 wherein said rubber layer comprises at least one rubber compound selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, polyurethane rubber, neoprene, viton, ascium, hypalon, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), carboxylated SBR, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), hydrogenated NBR, butyl rubber, fluorinated rubber, and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), chlorobutyl rubber, bromobutyl rubber, and any mixtures thereof.
- 9. A rubber/yarn composite comprising yarns selected from the group consisting of polyaramids, polyesters, and any blends thereof, produced by a method comprising the sequential steps of(a) providing a yarn selected from the group consisting of polyaramids, polyesters, and any blends thereof; (b) treating said yarn in a medium selected from the group consisting of a vinyl compound plasma and a plasma gas containing a vinyl compound; (c) coating said treated yarn with a resorcinol-formaldehyde latex; and (d) contacting said coated yarn with a rubber compound.
- 10. The rubber/yarn composite of claim 9 wherein said medium in step “b” is a vinyl compound plasma, wherein said vinyl compound is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, ethylene, butadiene, vinyl pyridine, and any mixtures thereof.
- 11. A rubber/textile composite comprising a textile comprising fibers selected from the group consisting of polyaramids, polyesters, and any blends thereof produced by a method comprising the sequential steps of(a) providing a textile comprising fibers selected from the group consisting of polyaramids, polyesters, and any blends thereof; (b) treating said textile in a medium selected from the group consisting of a vinyl compound plasma and a plasma gas containing a vinyl compound; (c) coating said treated textile with a resorcinol-formaldehyde latex; and (d) contacting said coated textile with a rubber compound.
- 12. The rubber/textile composite of claim 11 wherein said medium in step “b” is a vinyl compound plasma, wherein said vinyl compound is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, ethylene, butadiene, vinyl pyridine, and any mixtures thereof.
