Introduction

Chapter 1

The results obtained in research fulfilled under the project, were reported on 8, 9 and 10th symposiums “ Problems of Tires and Rubber-Cord Composites ”, that held in NIIShP (stands for Research Institute for Tire Industry) (Moscow, Russia, 1997, 98, 99). The reports were published in transactions of symposiums. English version of the final report is in preparation now. You can  find below table of contents and short version (in English).
