This review presents the recent advances in the synthesis, properties and applications of
thermosetting materials derived from renewable resources. Thermosetting materials are …

To get intrinsic adhesion or healing properties in a cross-linked rubber, two levers are
possible: the inherent relaxation in permanently but lightly cross-linked elastomers or the …

The epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) as an interfacial modifier was used to improve the
mechanical and dynamical mechanical properties of NR/silica composites. In order to reveal …

The hydrophilicity of natural rubber (NR) was improved by grafting with modified cassava
starch (ST)(NR-g-ST) by using potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as a catalyst. The modified …

The controlled release of drugs can be efficient if a suitable encapsulation procedure is
developed, which requires biocompatible materials to hold and release the drug. In this …

Most elastomeric vitrimers suffer from mechanical weakness in practical applications.
Inspired by the development of strong and tough biomaterials relying on sacrificial bond …

The crosslinking of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) with dodecanedioic acid was
tremendously accelerated in presence of 1, 2-dimethylimidazole (DMI). The curing reaction …

Curing behaviour as well as mechanical properties of binary blends of epoxidized natural
rubber (ENR) and dodecanedioic acid (DA) were investigated for development of self …

In the present study, the modification of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was investigated to
improve toughness of PLA. ENR‐PLA copolymers were synthesized by 2 steps reactions …

ABSTRACT A structural study of ring opening reaction of purified epoxidized natural rubber
(ENR) with acetic acid was conducted using the NMR techniques and its thermal …
