Cooper Tire “Excited” About Rubber Bonded Steel Cord
A patented process involving silanes has led to the design and testing of new type of radial tyre. Former University of Cincinnati Engineering Professor Emeritus Wim van Ooij, now chief scientist at the spin-off company he helped set up, filed the patent for the process in the name of the University of Cincinnati in 2004, however until now work on its development has been carried out in secret.
