Chinese scientists have successfully developed Gutta made of flexible rubber

After a long-term research and development, in recent years, Chinese scientists have successfully Gutta made of elastic rubber, and developed a series of functional materials, so that Eucommia traditional Chinese herbal medicines have a wider "development of the future." This is the reporter from the 20 held by the Chinese Academy of Sciences chemical celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the meeting was informed.

Eucommia is unique to the Chinese plant resources, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan and other places have large-scale cultivation. Eucommia skin is well-known traditional Chinese medicine, its skin, leaves and fruit in addition to containing medicinal ingredients, but also contains a natural polymer - Gutta.

After years of painstaking research by the Chinese Academy of Sciences chemical researchers pioneered a new method of manufacturing rubber, and a flexible mechanism Gutta at the core of a series of new theories. The researchers also Eucommia rubber vulcanization process control, developed a 3-type materials: thermoplastic material, thermal materials and flexible rubber elastic material, has greatly expanded the use of Gutta, there are 8 patents authorized.

Gutta series of functional materials only by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Chemical over the past 50 years in the high-tech industrialization on a microcosm. Over the past 50 years, the Institute of polyolefin plastics, polypropylene and efficient catalyst for polypropylene fiber grade polypropylene resins, organic photoconductive drum, and so on are the development of a breakthrough, and has developed a range of materials and products, to create a good social benefits And economic benefits.
