Graft copolymers of natural rubber and maleic anhydride (NR-g-MA) or maleated natural
rubber (MNR) were synthesized in a toluene solution. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) was used to …

Grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto natural rubber (NR) has been investigated by using a
radical initiated grafting process. NR was masticated to lower molecular weight than the …

The grafting of the methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer onto natural rubber using
potassium persulfate as an initiator was carried out by emulsion polymerization. The rubber …

The graft copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate onto natural rubber latex was
studied under various reaction conditions using a cumene hydroperoxide redox initiator. The …

Reactive double bonds of natural rubber (NR) enable several possibilities for chemical
modification. This present study prepared novel modified NRs with both grafted poly (methyl …

Modification of natural rubber (NR) via grafting polymerization with maleic anhydride (MA)
has received wide attention as it could improve the hydrophilicity of NR and extend its …

Maleated natural rubbers (MNRs) were prepared by blending natural rubber with maleic
anhydride (MA) at 135° C for 10min. We found the IR absorption peaks at 1784 and …

Graft copolymers of maleic anhydride and natural rubber or so‐called maleated natural
rubbers (MNRs) were prepared in a molten state with varying maleic anhydride contents …

Deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) latex was prepared by the incubation of fresh natural
latex with a proteolytic enzyme. The DPNR latex was later used to prepare a graft copolymer …

Abstract Effects of cumene hydroperoxide (CHPO)/tetraethylene pentamine (TEPA), tert‐
butyl hydroperoxide (TBHPO)/TEPA, and potassium persulfate (K2S2O8)/sodium thiosulfate …
