In this work, polymer composite materials were prepared based on natural rubber (NR),
polystyrene (PS) and Talang bamboo (Schizostachyum brachycladum) powder (TBP) using …

Natural rubber (NR) has been the world renewable natural elastomer produced mainly in
South East Asia from the sap of rubber tree (hevea brasiliensis). However it only exported to …

In this work natural rubber (NR) was blended with polystyrene (PS) at various weight ratio:
