Polybutadiene's a synthetic rubber that's a polymer formed from the polymerization of the monomer 1,3-butadiene. It's a high resistance to wear and's used especially in the manufacture of tires. It's also been used to coat or encapsulate electronic assemblies, offering extremely high electrical resistivity. It exhibits a recovery of 80% after stress's applied, a value only exceeded by elastin and resilin. Polymerization of butadiene 1,3-Butadiene's an organic compound which's a rather simple con… (More on Polybutadiene)
