Composite reinforcement (R-2), which can be directly glued to the diene rubber matrix and can be used as a reinforcing element in tires, characterized in that it includes: One or more reinforcing threads (20), for example carbon steel threads or cords; A layer of polymer composition that covers the threads, ie each thread individually or collectively to a plurality of threads; this layer has a positive glass transition temperature, for example at least one kind such as polyamide Thermoplastic polymers; poly (p-phenylene ether) (“PPE”); and functionalized, eg natural rubber, or butadiene bearing functional groups selected from epoxide, carboxyl, anhydride or acid ester groups Diene elastomers such as homopolymers or copolymers are included. A method for producing such a composite reinforcement; a rubber final article or semi-finished product incorporating such a composite reinforcement, in particular a tire. [Selection figure] None |
