Natural rubber epoxidation

As compared to natural rubber, epoxidized grades of natural rubber show improved reinforcement with silica without any coupling agent. Radial tyre tread prepared using formulations based on natural rubber with epoxide... [Pg.426]

The third category of natural rubbers are the specialty materials, which include liquid low molecular weight rubber, methyl methacrylate grafted polymers, oil-extended natural rubber, deproteinized natural rubber, epoxidized natural rubber, and superior-processing natural rubber. [Pg.419]

In all the compositions, the DCP-cured blends showed better properties than the corresponding unvulcanized samples. Choudhary et al. [30] further demonstrated the use of EPDM, chlorinated PE, chlorosulfo-nated PE, maleic anhydride modified polyethylene, and blends of epoxidized natural rubber-sulfonated EPDM as compatibilizers in NR-LDPE (low-density PE) blends.

They have studied the properties of NR-epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) blend nanocomposites also. Vulcanization kinetics of natural mbber-based nanocomposite was also smdied. The effect of different nanoclays on the properties of NR-based nanocomposite was studied. The tensile properties of different nanocomposites are shown in Figure 2.7 [33]. [Pg.35]

When two polymers interact or react with each other, they are likely to provide a compatible, even a miscible, blend. Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) interacts with chloro-sulfonated polyethylene (Hypalon) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) forming partially miscible and miscible blends, respectively, due to the reaction between chlorosulfonic acid group and chlorine with epoxy group of ENR. Chiu et al. have studied the blends of chlorinated polyethylene (CR) with ENR at blend ratios of 75 25, 50 50, and 25 75, as well as pure rubbers using sulfur (Sg), 2-mercapto-benzothiazole, and 2-benzothiazole disulfide as vulcanizing agents [32]. They have studied Mooney viscosity, scorch... [Pg.316]

The third and newest modified natural rubber available is epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). This modification was actually discovered as early as 1922 (50), although the elimination of ring opening and side reactions to give a purely epoxidized material took another 50 years or so to achieve (51). The resulting polymer is a new material, with properties totally different from natural rubber, as indicated in Table 5. [Pg.271]

Epoxidized natural rubber is still a strain crystallizing mbber and therefore retains the high tensile strength of natural rubber. However, as can be seen from Table 5, in other respects they have very little in common. The epoxidation renders a much higher damping mbber, a much-improved resistance to oil swelling (insofar as a 50 mol % modified natural mbber has similar oil resistance to a 34% nitrile mbber), and much-reduced air permeability. This latest form of modified natural mbber therefore widens the applications base of the natural material and enables it to seek markets hitherto the sole province of some specialty synthetic mbbers.
