  Fully Interpenetrating Polymer Network from Natural Rubber and Guar Gum

  By Jobish Johns, Abhiram J. S., Pernabas N., Inayath Pasha I., Saifulla Khan, Anand A.

  Abstract: Fully interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) based on natural rubber (NR) and guar gum (GG) was prepared by using glutaraldehyde as a common crosslinking agent. As both the polymers are naturally occurring and the resulting IPN material can be termed as a green polymeric material. The solvent resistance properties of these samples were investigated by equilibrium swelling method using benzene as a solvent. Benzene was used as the penetrant for the …
