Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR): A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: HNBR is produced by the hydrogenation of nitrile rubber (NBR) using either a homogeneous or heterogeneous technique. NBR is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile monomers. The hydrogenation process involves adding hydrogen to the nitrile butadiene copolymer, which results in improved resistance to heat, oxidation, and chemicals compared to NBR. This process alters the molecular structure of the rubber, providing it with superior properties compared to its unmodified counterpart, NBR. …
