A review of biodegradability of natural rubber products: Physicochemical, thermal and mechanical properties

Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a biopolymer consisting of isoprene monomers in a cis configuration connected by double bonds that can degrade naturally. Most natural rubber (NR) based products are single-use items and its microbial degradation process is relatively slow. Hence, this review highlights...
