Abstract

Natural rubber is an important polymer which is a highly elastic material and produced from natural resource. It has thus been widely used in many applications such as tires, glove and automotive parts, etc. However, natural rubber cannot be used as water absorbing materials due to its hydrophobicity. In order to solve this weakness, the hydrophilicity of natural rubber has to be improved. This review article presents several methods to prepare the hydrophilic natural rubber by blending with the super absorbent polymers, chemical modifications and the interpenetrating polymer network technique. Also, numerous methods used to characterize the hydrophilic natural rubbers were briefly reviewed.
