As the demand for rubber increased so did the chemical industry s efforts to prepare a synthetic sub stitute One of the first elastomers (a synthetic poly mer that possesses elasticity) to find a commercial niche was neoprene discovered by chemists at Du Pont in 1931 Neoprene is produced by free radical polymerization of 2 chloro 1 3 butadiene and has the greatest variety of applications of any elastomer Some uses include electrical insulation conveyer belts hoses and weather balloons... 

The first important commercial synthetic rubber was poly(chloroprene) which was made available for sale as Neoprene by DuPont in 1931. It is still made and sold today because of its superior resistance to oils, sunlight, and oxygen (ozone).

Nowadays, natural rubber is only used as the base adhesive for TDS of local use and skin bandages. But there is still a problem on the possibility of skin sensitization from impurities.Synthetic poly-1.4 cw-isoprene is also available today however, the adhesive properties of this polymer are less than those of natural rubber. 

Natural rubber has a structure that strongly resembles these synthetic poly-dienes. We could consider it to be a polymer of the conjugated diene 2-methyl-], 3-butadiene, isoprene. 

Butyl acetate [123-86-4] is a colorless, neutral, water-immiscible liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It has a good solvency for cellulose nitrate, cellulose ethers, chlorinated rubber, postchlorinated poly(vinyl chloride), poly(vinyl acetate), polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, vinyl chloride copolymers, polystyrene, natural and synthetic resins, alkyd resins, fats, and oils. Cellulose acetate is insoluble. 

The irradiation of mixed lattices for subsequent combination of the mptured chains is another approach it has been carried out with natural rubber and poly(vinyl chloride) lattices to prepare graft (and block) copolymers in fairly high yields without the problem of monomer recovery. The same method has been used to graft polychloroprene onto synthetic polyisoprene dispersions and onto polybutadiene lattices of various compositions. 

In 1955, chemists at the Goodyear and Firestone companies almost simultaneously discovered how to use stereoregulation catalysts to prepare synthetic poly-di-isoprene. This material is structurally identical to natural rubber. More than 10 million tons of synthetic rubber are produced worldwide every year.

Natural rubber, synthetic cw-1,4-poly(isoprene), butadiene rubbers, and styrene-butadiene rubbers are all sensitive to oxidation because of their high carbon-carbon double bond fractions. Attempts to reduce sensitivity to oxidation with maintenance of the vulcanizability have lead to the development of what are known as the butyl rubbers, IIR, which are copolymers of isobutylene with a little isoprene. But butyl rubbers only have a small rebound elasticity. However, since they also have poor gas permeability, they are mostly used for tire inner tubes. 

NMR spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are the main techniques used to provide microstructure information that is especially important for differentiating Hevea rubber from other types of naturally occurring and synthetic poly-isoprene. Both proton ( FI) and carbon ( C) NMR spectroscopy are used to obtain spectra of natural rubber in solution, and are shown in Figure 1. In the NMR spectrum, the olefinic proton gives rise to a peak 5.0 ppm, the methylene protons 2.0 ppm, and the methyl protons 1.6 ppm. 

Cis-l,4-poly(butadienes) are very resistant to abrasion and are therefore used for car tires. Compared to tires of cis-poly(isoprene), they generate less heat in use. This heat causes increased plasticity and decreased elasticity. In cfs-poly(isoprene), the elasticity is preserved by stronger cross-linking of the polymer. Cross-linking raises the glass-transition temperature, however consequently the elasticity of the tires at low temperatures is poor. Thus, cis-poly(butadiene) tires have better elasticity at low temperatures, whereas under normal road conditions they are somewhat poorer in this respect but possess very good wear characteristics. Under normal road conditions, pure cis-l,4-poly(butadiene) tires exhibit poorer road grip than cis-l,4-poly(isoprene) tire rubber is therefore a poly blend of c/s-l,4-poly(butadiene) with natural or synthetic poly(isoprene) or with Buna S. 

It will be demonstrated that nanofillers have a great impact on the properties of the rubber matrix. This chapter deals with natural rubber (NR) as the rubber matrix, but also considers synthetic poly(l,4-cw)-isoprene (IR) and epoxidized NR (ENR). 

Synthetic rubbers are produced as commodities. Polybutadiene, polybutylene, polychloroprene and polyepichlorohydrin are examples of elastomeric homopolymers. Copolymeric rubbers comprise poly-(butadiene-co-styrene), poly(butadiene-co-acryloni-trile), poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-diene), and poly-(epichlorohydrin-co-ethylene oxide). The unsaturated group in the comonomer provides reactive sites for the crosslinking reactions. Copolymers combine resilience with resistance to chemical attack, or resilience in a larger temperature range, and thermoplastic-like properties. There are several studies in the literature describing the preparation of blends and composites of elastomers and conductive polymers. A description of some significant examples is given in this section. 

There are a number of different ways to classify polymers but perhaps the simplest division is between natural polymers (biopolymers) which include proteins (polypeptides), polysaccharides, and poly(nucleotides) and synthetic polymers which include polyethylene, poly(vinyl chloride) and nylon some natural polymers are synthetically modified as in the formation of viscose rayon from cellulose or vulcanized rubber from natural rubber [largely poly(isoprene)].

Among the synthetic rubbers, only poly(cw-l,4-isoprene) rubber has been reported to be biodegradable. It is also known that poly(cA-l,4-isoprene) is quite susceptible to oxidative degradation at the double bond. Thus, carbonyl ends are produced by the double bond scission as shown in Fig. 14.5 (Harayama et al, 1992). As shown in this figure, double bond cleaving dioxygenases require a transition metal as a cofactor for their interaction with dioxygen.
