The present invention relates to a process for producing PEG acrylate-HNBR copolymer which exhibits excellent processability by latex hydrogenation of PEG acrylate-NBR latex to afford PEG acrylate-HNBR latex and subsequent coagulation.

A polymer latex including a polymer and at least one polysaccharide selected from the group consisting of tamarind gum, xanthan gum, cationized xanthan gum, gellan gum, guar gum and cationized guar gum.

A method for concentrating rubber emulsion and a product prepared by the method are provided, the method includes: a concentrated latex is obtained by separating a superabsorbent resin added in advance into a rubber emulsion with a solid content of 0.01-70% after stirring and concentrating the resin-added rubber emulsion. The method requires simple equipment and consumes less energy, and the prepared polymer emulsion has a solid content up to 76%; the superabsorbent resin adopted herein is reusable after drying, which therefore effectively reduces the production cost; natural latex concentrated by the method has rather high yields of dry rubber and little wastewater production; products prepared from the concentrated natural latex have excellent mechanical property, aging resistance and adhesive property; and concentrating natural latex according to this method does not require advance agglomeration, which reduces the production procedures and improves the production efficiency significantly.

Systems and methods for extracting useful by-products and natural rubber from non-Hevea rubber bearing plants are disclosed.

A method of recovering nitrile rubber from water-containing crumbs includes crumb-like nitrile rubber using an extruder in which a screw is disposed inside a barrel so as to be capable of being rotationally driven. The barrel is formed with at least a washing zone. The method includes supplying washing water to the washing zone at a water pressure of 0.2 MPa or higher while mixing the crumb-like nitrile rubber and the supplied washing water in the washing zone, thereby washing the crumb-like nitrile rubber.

A carboxyl group-containing nitrile rubber having an iodine value of 120 or less, wherein the content of sodium is 1500 ppm by weight or less, the total content of calcium, magnesium, and aluminum is 350 ppm by weight or less, and the storage elastic modulus at 140° C. is 350 kPa or more.

The present invention is directed to additive manufacturing compositions and methods for producing additive manufacturing composite blends with oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes with dispersion agents bonded to at least one sidewall of the oxidized discrete carbon nanotubes. Such compositions are especially useful when radiation cured, sintered or melt fused.
