Preparation and Characterization of Epoxidized Natural Rubber

Abstract:

Epoxidized Natural Rubber is prepared with latex processing technology. The relationships of the epoxidation with the reaction times and temperature were investigated. The structure of ENR was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FIIR). It is found that, the by products, ring-open components increases with the reaction temperatures and the reaction times. It is found that as the level of epoxidation increased, the number of tetrahydrofuran ring increased.
