Polybutadiene [butadiene rubber, BR] is a synthetic rubber. It offers high elasticity, high resistance to wear, good strength even without fillers, and excellent abrasion resistance when filled and vulcanized. "Polybutadiene" is a collective name for homopolymers formed from the polymerization of the monomer 1,3-butadiene.
Polybutadiene acrylonitrile (PBAN) [1] copolymer, also noted as polybutadiene—acrylic acid—acrylonitrile terpolymer [2] is a copolymer compound used most frequently as a rocket propellant fuel mixed with ammonium perchlorate oxidizer. [3] It was the binder formulation widely used on the 1960s–1970s big boosters (e.g., Titan III and Space ...
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is an oligomer of butadiene terminated at each end with a hydroxyl functional group. It reacts with isocyanates to form polyurethane polymers. HTPB is a translucent liquid with a color similar to wax paper and a viscosity similar to corn syrup.
The mere polymerization of butadiene gives polybutadiene, which is a very soft, almost liquid material. The polymerization of butadiene and other monomers gives copolymers , which are more valued. The polymerization of butadiene and styrene and/or acrylonitrile , such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), nitrile-butadiene (NBR), and ...
Isotactic PB-1 is produced commercially using two types of heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta catalysts. [3] The first type of catalyst contains two components, a solid pre-catalyst, the δ-crystalline form of TiCl 3, and solution of an organoaluminum cocatalyst, such as Al(C 2 H 5) 3.
Polybutene is an organic polymer made from a mixture of 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene.Ethylene steam cracker C4s are also used as supplemental feed for polybutene. It is similar to polyisobutylene (PIB), which is produced from essentially pure isobutylene made in a C4 complex of a major refinery.
One of the better-known examples of a graft polymer is a component used in high impact polystyrene, consisting of a polystyrene backbone with polybutadiene grafted chains. The graft copolymer consists of a main polymer chain or backbone (A) covalently bonded to one or more side chains (B)
A superball or power ball is a bouncy ball composed of a type of synthetic rubber (originally a hard elastomer polybutadiene alloy named Zectron) invented in 1964, which has a higher coefficient of restitution (0.92) than older balls such as the Spaldeen so that when dropped from a moderate height onto a level hard surface, it will bounce nearly all the way back up.
