Alternative sources of natural rubber
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2000Rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is one of the most important polymers naturally produced by plants because it is a strategic raw material used in more than 40,000 products, including more than 400 medical devices. The sole commercial source, at present, is natural rubber harvested from the Brazilian rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis.

Hevea brasiliensis tree is the only source of natural rubber (NR), and for decades, has had a significant share (more than 40%) in the elastomeric market. This biopolymer is made of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) associated with several other biological compounds. In this chapter, first, the current challenges faced by the NR supply chain are reviewed.

TENSILE PROPERTY OF EPOXIDIZED NATURAL RUBBER/NATURAL RUBBER BLENDS
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2000The tensile strength and elongation at break of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) blended with natural rubber (NR) was studied. ENR 25, ENR 50, and one grade of natural rubber (SMR L) were used as the elastomers. The composition of ENR was varied from 0% to 100% rubber.

The Effect of Epoxidation on Strain-Induced Crystallization of Epoxidized Natural Rubber.
Macromolecular rapid communications, 2019The effect of epoxidation on strain-induced crystallization (SIC) of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and mechanism are studied with synchrotron radiation wide-angle X-ray diffraction (SR-WAXD) and polarized infrared spectroscopy (P-IR).

Natural Rubber Biosynthesis in Plants
2012Rubber biosynthesis in plants is a fascinating biochemical system, which evolved at the dawn of the dicotyledoneae and is present in at least four of the dictolydonous superorders. Rubber biosynthesis is catalyzed by a membrane complex in a monolayer membrane envelope, requires two distinct substrates and a divalent cation cofactor, and produces a high-

Properties of natural rubber latex-compatibilized natural rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber blends
Journal of Elastomers & Plastics, 2016The effect of natural rubber latex (NRL) on the properties of natural rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber (NR/rCR) blends was investigated. The properties of NR/rCR-NRL blends were compared with those of NR/rCR blends without the NRL. The addition of NRL showed an improvement in tensile strength, elongation at break, fatigue life, and swelling ...
