Elastomers undergo thermo-oxidative aging when exposed to high temperatures and
oxidation, leading to material degradation and potential failure. Understanding this process …

Specific features of homogeneous, heterogeneous, and nanoheterogeneous catalysis in
hydrogenation of polymers and the advantages and drawbacks of various catalytic systems …

Three different forms of natural rubber: maleated natural rubber (MNR), epoxidized natural
rubber (ENR) and natural rubber-graft-poly (methyl methacrylate)(NR-g-PMMA) were …

Thermal–oxidative degradation behaviours of raw natural rubber (NR) have been
investigated by using thermogravimetry analysis in inert and oxidative atmospheres and the …

Poly (methy methacrylate)(PMMA)‐SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared via differential
microemulsion polymerization. The effects of silica loading, surfactant concentration, and …

Hydrogenated polyisoprene (HPIP) nanoparticles, synthesized via organic solvent-free
hydrogenation using RhCl 3/TPPMS as a catalyst, are novel nanofillers for natural rubber …

The ozone stability of partially hydrogenated natural rubbers (HNRs) was evaluated. HNRs
with the hydrogenation levels of 14, 33 and 65 mol% including with vulcanization systems of …

Natural rubber (NR) as renewable resource is a kind of cheap and versatile elastomer. A
disadvantage of NR is that the ozone resistance is not good, which needs to be improved for …

In order to improve weatherability of the cured natural rubber, the novel introduction of good
ozone resistant polymers such as polyacrylates (poly (methyl acrylate)(PMA) or poly (methyl …

Abstract Polybutadiene (PB)–SiO 2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via
differential microemulsion polymerization. The core-shell structured PB-SiO 2 nanoparticles …
