From golf balls to rolling resistance

摘要

Polybutadiene rubber (BR) belongs, beside styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), to the 'general purpose' butadiene-based synthetic rubbers, which contribute 24.5% of the synthetic rubber volume produced worldwide. Typical applications are in tires, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), conveyor belts, caterpillar tread blocks, footwear soles, golf balls, and V-belts.
