✦ Synopsis

Synthetic polybutadiene (PBR) and natural rubbers from India (InR) and Guyana (GR) have been characterized in detail. The characterization includes IR, NMR, GPC, DSC, TGA, contact angle, and viscosity measurements. Spectroscopic characterization helped in the differentiation of InR and GR. Viscosity data is used in the evaluation of activation parameters at infinite dilution of the viscous flow. Viscosity data is also used for the determination of the conformation of the macromolecules in various solvents. Surface characterization confirms the total hydrophobic nature of the three rubbers. Thermal analysis shows different degradation pattern for natural rubbers than for the synthetic rubber.
