Reactive double bonds of natural rubber (NR) enable several possibilities for chemical modification. This present study prepared novel modified NRs with both grafted poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and epoxide groups on the molecules. NR was firstly grafted with PMMA using a NR/MMA ratio of 90/10 by weight, and cumene hydroperoxide/tetraethylene pentamine (CHP/TEPA) as a redox initiator. The grafted...
