Each year a large amount of worn synthetic and natural rubber is discarded. Due to the
complex three-dimensional structure, recycling, and degradation of rubber by natural …

Excessive accumulation of rubber waste necessitates the need to revisit the effectiveness of
the existing rubber waste management system. This review provides an overview of the …

Synthetic polymers are chemicals of emerging concern for the environment, which is mainly
attributed to their persistence in environmental compartments. On the other hand, polymers …

Natural rubber latex (NRL) films are used to manufacture single-use items such as condoms,
blood transfusion tubes, and gloves. Natural rubber is a biopolymer, but the vulcanization …

Rubber residues present harmful impacts on health and environment, besides wasting
valuable and huge amounts of rubber. Biological recycling technique is focused here to …

Semiconductor materials have shown a good photocatalytic behaviour for the
photodegradation of organic pollutants. In this work, maleated liquid natural rubber (MLNR) …

Recently, latex (NRL) and natural rubber (NR) from Hevea brasiliensis have emerged as
promising biomaterials from renewable sources for biomedical applications. Although some …

In the work, the impact of the biological medium and water on structural rearrangements in
pure polylactide and polylactide/natural rubber film composites was studied …

A hydrogel-based photocatalyst was employed to remove methylene blue (MB) and safranin
dye effluents from wastewater using a liquid natural rubber (LNR)-acrylic acid (AAc) based …

The biodegradation of rubber materials is considered as a sustainable recycling alternative,
highlighting the use of microorganisms and enzymes in oxidative processes of natural …
