Reactions of Iodine, Iodine Chloride and Thiocyanogen with the Hydrocarbons of Natural Rubber and Synthetic Rubber
Keyword(s):
Abstract The reactions of iodine, iodine chloride and thiocyanogen with solutions of natural rubber and of synthetic sodium-butadiene rubber were studied. The experimental results show that the chemical properties of these two hydrocarbons are in general similar, although there are also certain differences which can be explained by the peculiarities of their structures. The products of the reactions of iodine chloride and of thiocyanogen with natural rubber and sodium-butadiene rubber were isolated, and their compositions and some of their properties are described.
