Klappentext Natural rubber has always been an important industrial material, but its value has increased with the demand for more sustainable materials. There has also been a wealth of research on the properties of natural rubber and how they can be best used e.g. by incorporating fillers or developing natural rubber composite materials. This important book summarises this research and its significance for the industrial applications of natural rubber. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part I: Properties and processing of natural rubber 1. Biosynthesis of natural rubber (NR) in different rubber-producing species 2. Natural rubber (NR) biosynthesis: perspectives from polymer chemistry 3. Chemical modification of natural rubber (NR) for improved performance 4. Understanding network control by vulcanization for sulfur cross-linked natural rubber (NR) 5. The effect of strain-induced crystallization (SIC) on the physical properties of natural rubber (NR) 6. Generating particulate silica fillers in situ to improve the mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR) 7. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic silica-filled cross-linked natural rubber (NR): structure and properties 8.
