Polybutadiene Rubber is an abbreviation for cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber with the molecular formula (C4H6)n. Butadiene rubber is a structural synthetic rubber made from the polymerization of butadiene, with a content of more than 95% of the cis structure. Depending on the catalyst, it can be divided into nickel series, cobalt series, titanium series and rare earth series (neodymium series) butadiene rubber.
What is the composition of polybutadiene?
Polybutadiene rubber (PBR), a homopolymer of butadiene (C4H6), is widely used in various industrial applications, particularly in the production of rubber-clay nanocomposites. These composites integrate polybutadiene with clay nanoparticles, offering enhanced mechanical properties such as improved tensile strength, heat resistance, and better wear performance. The combination of polybutadiene's flexibility and the reinforcing effects of clay nanoparticles results in materials that perform better in demanding applications like tires and automotive parts.
