A pneumatic tire comprising a tire component having a plurality of individually plasma treated cords applied individually to the tire component, wherein the plasma treated cords comprise a plasma generated deposition derived from at least one polymerizable monomer.
A method for constructing a pneumatic tire, said method comprising the steps of:
- A) atomizing a mixture of at least one polymerizable monomer, a halogenated hydrocarbon, and a carrier gas to form an atomized mixture;
- B) generating an atmospheric pressure plasma from the atomized mixture;
- C) exposing an individual tire cord to the atmospheric pressure plasma to make a plasma treated cord;
- and
- D) applying the plasma treated individual cord on a surface of an uncured tire component.
