POLYBUTADIENE Usage And Synthesis

General Description

Polybutadiene rubber (BR) is similar to natural rubber in its properties but it is more costly to process into intricate shapes than rubbers such as styrene butadiene rubber. Hence, it is essentially used as an additive in order to increase the tear resistance of other rubbers.
