trans14polyisopreeniin
Trans-1,4-polyisoprene, also known as natural rubber, is a polymer of isoprene, a five-carbon hydrocarbon. It is a naturally occurring polymer, primarily found in the latex of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The structure of trans-1,4-polyisoprene consists of repeating isoprene units linked in a trans configuration, which means the methyl groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.
Natural rubber is known for its excellent elasticity, strength, and resistance to abrasion. It is widely used
Trans-1,4-polyisoprene can be synthesized through both natural and artificial means. Synthetic rubber, such as styrene-butadiene rubber
The production of natural rubber involves tapping the rubber trees to collect latex, which is then processed
