As the second natural rubber resource, Eucommia ulmoides rubber (EUR) from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver is mainly composed of trans-1,4-polyisoprene, which is the isomer of natural rubber cis-1,4-polyisoprene from Hevea brasiliensis. In the past few years, the great potential application of EUR has received increasing attention, and there is a growing awareness that the natural polymer EUR could become an emerging research topic in field of the novel materials due to its unique and excellent duality of both rubber and plastic. To gain insight into its further development, in this review, the extraction, structure, physicochemical properties, and modification of EUR are discussed in detail. More emphasis on the potential applications in the fields of the environment, agriculture, engineering, and biomedical engineering is summarized. Finally, some insights into the challenges and perspectives of EUR are also suggested.

“…EUR is an ideal candidate for the development of coatings due to its good film-forming, hydrophobic, and corrosion resistance properties. 100,101,128 Especially, the epoxidation of EUR has high polarity. Thus, the epoxidized EUR (EEUR) could be used to prepare hydrophobic and anticorrosive coatings.…”

“…The hydrophobic potential of PI was shown in the literature. 43 In order to show the potential use of PI thin films in daily life materials, a commercial porous and flexible bamboo fabric was coated with PI thin film. High (10 k X) and low-magnification SEM images of uncoated and PI coated bamboo fabric are presented in Figure 7(ad).…”

Rubber is one of the most commonly used industrial materials worldwide. However, there is a gap in the literature on the production of rubber thin films in nanoscale. When the rubber thin films are produced in nanoscale, they can be used in high-tech applications where bulk rubbers have never been used before. This study is one of the first investigations to focus on the vapor-based production of the polyisoprene (PI), which is an important member of the synthetic rubber class. For this purpose, a single-step, rapid and environmentally friendly method based on plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was employed to produce PI thin films using 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene). The high-vapor pressure of isoprene makes it a promising monomer for the production of chemical vapor deposition polymers. The effect of plasma processing parameters on the PI deposition rate was investigated. The deposition rate of PI thin film as high as 40 nm/min was achieved and the contact angle of PI coated bamboo surface was found to be 146.8. The mechanical durability and laundering tests of PI thin films were performed. Based on this study results, PI thin films produced by PECVD can be used in a number of potential applications.

“…θ r is also the contact angles on roughness solid surface. Cassie’s model assumed that a composite aera is formed when a droplet contact with a roughness solid surface and the liquid is completely lifted up by the heterogeneous structure, Cassie–Baxter equation is used when a droplet lies on the surface traps air pockets underneath it, 7 hence, the droplet can roll off from the surface easily.…”

A simple, effective and inexpensive method was proposed to reuse ground tire rubber (GTR) powder by preparing a superhydrophobic surface via a molding process. The obtained superhydrophobic surface was based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) / ground tire rubber (GTR) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) where the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) was used as compatibilizer and series sandpapers were used as templates. The mechanical properties, hydrophobic properties, surface morphology and self-cleaning property were investigated systematically. The results showed that both of the mechanical properties and superhydrophobicity could be greatly improved with a certain amount of SBS. The superhydrophobic surface based on molded LDPE/SBS/GTR (weight ratio = 40/15/60) TPE exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity (with a contact angle of 164.6° ± 3.0° and a tilt angle of 4.4° ± 1.9°). Furthermore, abundant tearing microstructure could be found obviously by morphology observation. Optical images indicated the surface possessed of low adhesion force and self-cleaning property.
