Abstract
PRISM Thermoplastic Rubber (PTR) is a novel, composite rubber material technology principally compounded from EOL, ambient ground, whole tires through the management of a unique process governed by the application of advanced, quantum field physics. The value from this technology is to provide a virgin-material-analog that may be readily integrated at high ratio, into new tire construction using conventional tire chemistry and manufacturing techniques resulting in a sustainable and significant, positive cost-benefit ratio as compared to current tire manufacturing economics.

1-8. (canceled)
A polymeric matrix comprising a polyaromatic hydrocarbon and a crosslinked network of an elastomer and at least one complementary polymer, wherein the complementary polymer is chemically bonded to the polyaromatic hydrocarbon such that a bond is formed between the complementary polymer and the polyaromatic hydrocarbon, whereby the polymeric matrix sequesters the polyaromatic hydrocarbon.
