RUBBER, Thermoset Rubber - Coggle Diagram

- - - - 🌳 Some rubber products which directly from latex are ; foam rubber, gloves, condoms, glues.
        🌳 Latex is modified to have higher dry rubber content, DRC values (min 60 - 65% of rubber).
        🌳 Modification methods ; centrifugation, sedimentation, water evaporation thickening and electro-decantation.
        🌳 During the modification process, DRC is increased in latex & impurities & non-rubbery additives are removed from rubber.

- - - - :fire:1. The polystyrene chains tend to clump together.
      - :fire: 2. One styrene group of one SBS molecule joins one clump then the other polystyrene chains of the same SBS molecule joins another clump. This difference clumps become tied together with rubbery polybutadiene chains.
      - :fire: 3. Its give the material the ability to retain its shape after being stretchted.
