Synthesis of Water Absorber Rubber

The idea of research is manufacture a rubber composite absorbed water suitable for fabricate regime and sport belts by adding polymer blends. Rubber pastes from (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) NBR, have been prepared laboratory by mixing different proportions. The hardness, time of swelling, mass and volume for pure NBR have been measured then, four mixtures of (PEG-CMC) were added in the form of gels and powders as polymer composites to absorbed water by make porosities inside rubber
