Abstract
A polymer-based reinforced rubber composition may be produced that comprises a) a plurality of polymer-based fibers, wherein at least some of the plurality of polymer-based fibers comprises at least one surface modification agent; and b) a rubber compound, wherein the rubber compound comprises a plurality of active rubber moieties, and wherein at least some of the plurality of active rubber moieties is adhesively interactive with the surface modification agent. Methods of producing a polymer-based reinforced rubber composition comprise: a) providing a plurality of polymer-based fibers; b) providing a rubber compound or composition, wherein the rubber compound or composition comprises a plurality of active rubber moieties; c) coupling a surface modification agent onto the surface of at least some of the plurality of polymer-based fibers; and d) adhesively interacting the surface modification agent with at least some of the plurality of active rubber moieties in an adhesive interaction in order to produce an interface. Furthermore, the surface modification agent and the plurality of active rubber moieties are chosen, such that the plurality of active rubber moieties is adhesively int…
