Abstract

Natural rubber (NR) is an important renewable polymeric material which contains cis-1,4-polyisoprene as a major component. A new approach for a green hydrogenation process has been developed in this research work. This metathesis/hydrogenation method has less detrimental environmental impact and provides improved thermal stability of NR.
