Reprocessable Elastomeric Networks Produced via Trimesic Acid‐Induced β‐Hydroxy Ester Crosslinking of Epoxidized Natural Rubber With Tunable Mechanical Properties
Trimesic acid (TMA) has been employed as a trifunctional crosslinker to develop dynamic epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) networks through zinc‐acetate‐catalyzed formation of β‐hydroxy ester linkages. Unlike conventional sulfur‐vulcanized networks, which are commonly described using simplified tetrafunctional junctio...
