Polyisoprene Elastomers Market - North America Has the Highest Market Share by 2020
Polyisoprene elastomers are synthetic polymers that resemble natural rubber in molecular structure as well as in properties. Synthetic polyisoprene has a lower percentage of cis-1,4 polyisoprene units. Manufacturing polyisoprene with the desired properties is a complex process: the polymerization of isoprene can lead to various repeating units. Different types of polyisoprene are 1,2 - polyisoprene, trans 1,4 polyisoprene, cis-1,4 - polyisoprene and 3,4 polyisoprene. Several different processes can be used to manufacture polyisoprene. Ziegler-Natta polymerization allows trans 1,4 polyisoprene, cis...
