isoprenebased
Isoprene-based refers to compounds or materials derived from or containing isoprene. Isoprene, also known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, is a volatile organic compound that is a precursor to many natural and synthetic products. In nature, isoprene is produced in large quantities by plants and is a key component of rubber. It plays a role in plant defense mechanisms and atmospheric chemistry.
Synthetic isoprene is used as a monomer in the production of various polymers, most notably synthetic rubber.
