“…As hydrogel is beneficial as the electrolytes, such studies offer promising prospects for producing more NR‐based hydrogel electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage applications. [ 102 ] Nevertheless, NR is still soluble to hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane and some aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene. [ 103 ] Additionally, NR can also be difficult to store under certain conditions.…”

Amid the search for alternatives to petrochemical‐based polymers and growing concern for environmental sustainability, natural polymers have gained significant attention. These polymers have potential applications in household appliances to advanced energy systems and offer a way to address the depletion and sustainability challenges associated with synthetic polymers. One such natural source of polymer is natural rubber (NR), which has been developed as a highly performing material in electrodes and electrolytes. Nowadays, researchers are more interested in NR due to its sustainability, affordability, elastomeric properties, and low glass transition temperature. This article presents a comprehensive exploration of NR characteristics, delving into its elasticity, glass transition temperature, and an extensive evaluation of its potential as a hydrogel electrolyte. Furthermore, this investigation showcases NR's capability to mitigate potential long‐term consequences of synthetic materials. Given NR's inherent insulating nature, a meticulous analysis of the interplay between NR composites and their electrical properties within electrodes is prompted. This article provides a review of past research, growth and development, and prospects of NR and its derivatives as in applications including electrochemical energy storage, energy harvesting, wastewater treatment, and slow‐release fertilizers. Moreover, the study briefly underscores the importance of NR while acknowledging its limitations.

“…Ozone degrades vulcanized rubbers through its reactions with the double bonds in the main chain, causing chain splitting and reducing surface resistance [ 10 ]. In order to accelerate the degradation process, the reaction with ozone is carried out in the presence of a solvent and at a high temperature [ 11 ], thus inducing additional process costs. Biodegradation is carried out in the presence of specific microorganisms, and photodegradation is carried out by means of solar UV radiation and UV irradiation [ 12 ]; both methods are non-polluting but long-lasting.…”

Composites based on natural rubber and plasticized starch obtained by the conventional method of sulfur cross-linking using four types of vulcanization accelerators (Diphenyl guanidine, 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole, N-Cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide, and Tetramethylthiuram disulfide) were irradiated with an electron beam in the dose range of 150 and 450 kGy for the purpose of degradation. The vulcanization accelerators were used in different percentages and combinations, resulting in four mixtures with different potential during the cross-linking process (synergistic, activator, or additive). The resulting composites were investigated before and after irradiation in order to establish a connection between the type of accelerator mixture, irradiation dose, and composite properties (gel fraction, cross-linking degree, water absorption, mass loss in water and toluene, mechanical properties, and structural and morphological properties). The results showed that the mixtures became sensitive at the irradiation dose of 300 kGy and at the irradiation dose of 450 kGy, and the consequences of the degradation processes were discussed.
