In the category of industrial appHcations, nylon is the predominant fiber used in the carcass of bias tmck, racing car, and airplane tires because of its exceUent strength, adhesion to mbber, and fatigue resistance. Nylon is used less in the carcass of radial tires for automobiles and in replacement bias and bias-belted tires because of the development of temporary flat spots. For this reason, nylon has lost most of this market to polyester. 

Until the 1960s, reclaimed mbber was an important raw material in molded and extmded mbber products, eg, tires, mbber mats, and hard mbber battery cases. With the advent of vinyl, other plastics, and less expensive oil-extended synthetic polymers, reclaimed mbber sales stabilized and decreased. In 1973, the oil embargo and rising energy costs increased costs of the energy-intensive mbber reclaiming process to the point where they matched virgin polymer costs. Increased radial tire production required crack resistance that could not be provided by reclaimed mbber compounds (46). 

Insoluble Sulfur. In natural mbber compounds, insoluble sulfur is used for adhesion to brass-coated wire, a necessary component in steel-belted radial tires. The adhesion of mbber to the brass-plated steel cord during vulcanization improves with high sulfur levels ( 3.5%). Ordinary rhombic sulfur blooms at this dose level. Crystals of sulfur on the surface to be bonded destroy building tack and lead to premature failure of the tire. Rubber mixtures containing insoluble sulfur must be kept cool (<100°C) or the amorphous polymeric form converts to rhombic crystals. 

The role of the mbber compounds which are used ia these basic components is threefold (/) to provide the coatact area betweea the vehicle and the surface (2) to provide the cohesive material that holds the tire together such that it acts as an iategral unit and (J) to provide protection for the ultimate strengthbeating components, ie, the textiles, steel beads, and steel breakers ia steel belted radial tires. 

Styrene—butadiene elastomers, emulsion and solution types combined, are reported to be the largest-volume synthetic mbber, with 28.7% of the world consumption of all synthetic mbber in 1994 (38). This percentage has decreased steadily since 1973 when SBR s market share was 57% (39). The decline has been attributed to the switch to radial tires (longer milage) and the growth of other synthetic polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and polystyrene. Since 1985, production of SBR has been flat (Table 3). 

Introduced successfully for tires in 1967, glass fibers had properties that made them very attractive for use in tires (5,8). The britdeness of glass fibers, however, imposed some limitations on the final tine cord properties because of the requirement that each fiber be individually coated with a mbbery adhesive to avoid interfilament damage during fabrication and use. This additional treatment step is introduced at the fiber manufacturing stage. For several years fiber glass was used extensively in bias-belted and radial tires, but was ultimately replaced by steel belts in radial tires. 

An example that shows that the cohesive strength of a material is less than that of the adhesional strength of the interface is that of the nominal 50,000 mile steel belted radial tire. It is a simple calculation to show that, on average, a tire leaves a monolayer of rubber particles on the road every time it makes a rotation. In essence, the strength of the adhesional bonding between the road and the tire is greater than that of the rubber within the tire. 

Only a PLC-controlled extrusion line with recipe management can fulfill the stringent quality control required for high-tech radial tires. 

Sometimes there are problems for which no empirically validated strategies exist. These situations challenge therapists and counselors to develop creative approaches to addressing unusual problems. On the one hand, it is very important to use an empirically validated approach to correct a problem if such an approach exists, because it makes little sense to reinvent the wheel when a radial tire may already be available to you. However, if the wheel has not been invented or tested, therapists and counselors still have to do something. 

Large frontal areas create air turbulence and drag. Bodies derived from wind tunnel testing can provide a more smooth air flow around the vehicle. Details such as mirrors, rain gutters, trim, wheel wells and covers can also be more appropriate for air flow. Radial tires can reduce fuel consumption as much as 3%. Puncture-proof tires of plastic could save even more and eliminate the cost and weight of a spare tire and wheel. 

The chemical picture of this modified collagen is not yet complete, but its mixed structural regions already hint at similar new synthetic materials. For the NIH, which has supported this biotechnological research, the hope is that this unique material, with its variable elasticity, will lead to more comfortable and pliable artificial skin. Ultimately, it could also improve the quality of such goods as footwear and radial tires, where softness and toughness are equally desirable. 

Radial tires, favoring natural rubber, gave good growth since 1980. Will slow now that radial tires no longer increasing No production in U.S.

The economic scale is compared between the United States and Japan with selected industrial parameters such as sterilization, semiconductors, radiographic testing, and radial tire production, because the very large industrial markets make a whole comparison difficult. The economic scale revealed in selected industrial fields was about 56 billion for the United States and 39 billion for Japan. The former is larger by a factor of — 1.4 [4].
