Structural characterization of rubber from Hevea brasiliensis (NR) has been carried out to
elucidate the biosynthesis mechanism of rubber molecule as well as to find the relationship …

Deproteinized natural rubber latex (DPNR-latex) was treated with lipase and phosphatase in
order to analyze the structure of the chain-end group (α-terminal). The enzymatic treatment …

Studies in the epoxidation of natural rubber latices are described. Investigated epoxidation
routes include the use of bromohydrin intermediates, hydrogen‐peroxide‐catalyzed …

A comparative analysis of epoxidized natural rubber samples by 1 H and 13 C nmr,
titrimetric, elemental and dsc techniques has been made. Whereas the titrimetric method is …

As for all materials, a study of NR and the relations existing between its structure and
properties require the knowledge of the different structural levels. These structural levels are …

Natural rubber exhibits different storage properties when compared with synthetic
polyisoprenes. Stored over an extended period of a few months, natural rubber is found to …

Though the non-rubber components have long been recognized to be a vital factor affecting
the network of natural rubber (NR), the authentic role of non-rubber components on the …

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) has a high molecular weight, which has limited its solubility
and processibility. For many potential applications, such as adhesives and coatings, ENR …

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) needs to be degraded into shorter chain lengths, to form
liquid epoxidized natural rubber (LENR), for applications such as coating and adhesives …

Elemental distribution maps of Hevea brasiliensis natural rubber gels have been obtained
using electron energy-loss spectroscopy imaging in a low-energy (80 kV) electron …
