## Abstract Investigations into the processing characteristics and physicomechanical properties of natural rubber (NR) modified with liquid natural rubber (LNR) were carried out. Liquid natural rubber samples (of different molecular weights) were first produced by depolymerization of natural rubber

โฆ Synopsis
Polymer modification of commercially available bitumen has been attempted by the incorporation of liquid natural rubber (LNR) of medium viscosity. Both soft and blown bitumens have been studied. Physical and rheological characteristics of the samples were investigated. Improvement in physical properties such as shear strength and ductility in the case of blown bitumen and resistance to flow in the case of soft bitumen were observed. It was also found that as a result of addition of LNR, the activation energy of flow increases in the case of soft bitumen and decreases in blown bitumen.

A double-networked natural rubber (DNNR) was prepared by a ''two-step crosslinking'' method, in which the crosslinking was achieved while the natural rubber was in a stretched condition. The swelling behavior, tensile properties, creep, recovery, and permanent set were investigated. Generally, the o
