Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 2041-2061, November 2019., 2019 Summary Natural rubber (NR) is a nonfungible and valuable biopolymer, used to manufacture ~50 000 rubber products, including tires and medical gloves. Current production of NR is derived entirely from the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The increasing demand for NR, coupled with limitations and vulnerability of H. brasiliensis production systems,

Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Rubber by FT‐NIR
Journal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Mechanical tests, for example, tensile and hardness tests, are usually used to evaluate the properties of rubber materials. In this work, mechanical properties of selected rubber materials, that is, natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), were evaluated using a ...
