Study Notes
Chemically Modified Natural Rubbers (NRs)
- Examples of chemically modified NRs include epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), graft copolymers, and hydrogenated natural rubber (HNR)
Types of Chemical Modification
- Epoxidation: introduction of epoxy groups into the NR backbone to improve oil resistance and thermal stability
- Grafting: attachment of synthetic polymers to the NR backbone to enhance mechanical properties and compatibility
- Hydrogenation: saturation of double bonds in the NR backbone to improve thermal stability and resistance to oxidation
Purpose of Chemical Modification
- To improve the physical and chemical properties of NR, such as oil resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, to expand its application range
Review of NR Derivatives
- The chapter reviews various NR derivatives, including their synthesis, properties, and applications
Additional Resources
- Further information on chemically modified NRs can be found in scientific literature, academic journals, and industry reports
