Homogeneous Hydrogenation Art of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber: A Review
TLDR
An overview of the fundamental data, challenges, and recent advances in the research area of homogeneous hydrogenation of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is provided in this article.Abstract:
Hydrogenation of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is an important research topic in the field of chemical modification of unsaturated polymers. This review provides an overview of the fundamental data, challenges, and recent advances in the research area of homogeneous hydrogenation of NBR. Besides NBR and its hydrogenation product HNBR, some other important elastomers such as styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene (SBS block copolymer), and natural rubber (NR) were also involved for the related hydrogenation reactions and characterization. A brief comparison of hydrogenation catalysts including the heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts was first conducted and the importance of rhodium (Rh) complex catalysts for homogeneous hydrogenation of elastomers was addressed. This article continued to discuss the reaction pathways for realization of the homogeneous hydrogenation of NBR. This was followed by an examination of the microstructures and chara...read more
