Recent Developments in Synthetic Rubbers by Anionic Polymerization

  • Chapter

Abstract

Although styrene—butadiene rubbers made in organic solvents (commonly called solution SBR) were introduced commercially in early 1960, their use has been limited to only a few structural varieties. Emulsion SBRs in blends with cis-BR (high cis-polybutadiene rubbers) were capable of meeting several performance requirements until the demand for low rolling resistance of tyre treads came to prominence in the 1970s. Then the potential of solution rubbers, with their much greater control of molecular structure, surfaced to meet the new requirements for improvements in rolling resistance and wet traction.
