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.
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.
1,3-Butadiene (/ ˌ b juː t ə ˈ d aɪ iː n / ⓘ) [8] is the organic compound with the formula CH 2 =CH-CH=CH 2.It is a colorless gas that is easily condensed to a liquid. It is important industrially as a precursor to synthetic rubber. [9]
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.
For example, polystyrene chains may be grafted onto polybutadiene, a synthetic rubber which retains one reactive C=C double bond per repeat unit. The polybutadiene is dissolved in styrene, which is then subjected to free-radical polymerization. The growing chains can add across the double bonds of rubber molecules forming polystyrene branches.
Nitrile rubber was developed in 1931 at BASF and Bayer, then part of chemical conglomerate IG Farben.The first commercial production began in Germany in 1935. [2] [3]IG Farben plant under construction approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Auschwitz, 1942
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 ...
