Abstract:Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) crosslinked using borax, which exhibits self‐healing and self‐repairing properties, is successfully developed. The crosslink formation of ENR by using borax under neutral and alkaline conditions is investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) shows that the borate–ester bond is formed in ENR prepared under both neutral and alkaline conditions, whereas boron nuclear magnetic resonance (11B‐NMR) results exhibit that the ENR prepared under alkaline conditions more a… Show more
