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.

A method for producing a nitrile rubber, includes recovering a nitrile rubber from a latex of nitrile rubber by continuously feeding the latex of nitrile rubber and a coagulant into an extruder including a screw disposed inside a barrel to be rotatably driven, wherein the latex of nitrile rubber fed into the extruder contains 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of a hindered phenol-based antiaging agent having a molecular weight of 300 to 3000 relative to 100 parts by weight of the nitrile rubber.

A nitrile group-containing copolymer rubber including 10 to 60 wt % of an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer unit and 1 to 60 wt % of an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monoester monomer unit, and having an iodine value of 120 or less, wherein a processability index Ipro (Ipro=CC×SA) is 0.0030 or less, where the processability index Ipro is the product of the carboxyl group content CC, which is the number of moles of carboxyl groups per 100 g of nitrile group-containing copolymer rubber, and the absorbance area SA of a carboxylic anhydride group determined by infrared spectroscopy.

What are provided are colour-stable, low-salt nitrile rubbers and a process for production thereof under specific conditions for the coagulation and/or washing of the nitrite rubber. Additionally obtainable are the corresponding volcanizable mixtures based on this nitrile rubber, a process for producing vulcanizates from these mixtures and the resultant vulcanizates having excellent processing properties.

A method for stabilizing a natural rubber such as guayule. The method includes the step of introducing at least one of an Extraction Curves for Guayule Rubber Samples amine and a phenolic anti-oxidant, such as MADA, to a latex form of the rubber under conditions such that the anti-oxidant becomes chemically bound to the rubber. The method includes the further step of subsequently treating the rubber to remove at least a substantial portion of entrained resins. The method can yield a rubber composition of, for example, guayule rubber and including an anti-oxidant chemically bound thereto. The resultant rubber can be suitable for use in tire construction.

This present invention relates to oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes in dispersions, especially for use in printing inks. The dispersions can include materials such as elastomers, thermosets and thermoplastics or aqueous dispersions of open-ended carbon nanotubes with additives. A further feature of this invention relates to the development of a dispersion of oxidized, discrete carbon nanotubes that are electrically conductive.
