The growing demand for more sustainable materials has led to
increased research on the properties of natural rubber. "Chemistry,
Manufacture and Applications of Natural Rubber "summarizes this
research and its significance for the industrial applications of
natural rubber.
Chapters in part one explore the properties and processing of
natural rubber, including the biosynthesis of natural rubber in
different rubber-producing species, chemical modification of
natural rubber for improved performance, and the effect of
strain-induced crystallization on the physical properties of
natural rubber. Further chapters highlight hydrophobic and
hydrophilic silica-filled cross-linked natural rubber and computer
simulation of network formation in natural rubber. Part two
focusses on applications of natural rubber, including eco-friendly
bio-composites using natural rubber matrices and reinforcements,
soft bio-composites from natural rubber and marine products,
natural rubber for the tire industry, the application of epoxidized
natural rubber in pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs), and the use
of natural rubber for vibration isolation and earthquake protection
of structures. Finally, chapters in part three consider
environmental and safety issues associated with natural rubber,
including improving the sustainable development of natural rubber,
the recycling of natural and synthetic isoprene rubbers and of
sulfur cross-linked natural rubber, and recent research on natural
rubber latex allergy.
"Chemistry, Manufacture and Applications of Natural Rubber" is a
comprehensive resource for academics, chemists, chemical engineers,
mechanical engineers, and other professionals in the rubber
industry, as well as those industries, including automotive, civil,
and medical engineering, using natural rubber products.
An updated review with systematic and comprehensive coverage of
natural rubbersCovers a broad range of topics, including the
chemistry, processing, sustainability, and applications of natural
rubbersCoverage of the best international research, including key
experts from Asia, the United States, South America, and Europe
