MODIFIED RUBBER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A double bond contained in each isoprene unit of a natural rubber is converted into an epoxy group, and then the epoxy group is hydrolyzed, thereby being converted into a hydroxyl group. Since a hydroxyl group is surely introduced into every double bond and many hydroxyl groups are introduced as a whole, the thus-obtained modified rubber can be used for food packaging films having excellent gas impermeability.
