Abstract
Most rubber products come from petrochemical resources, which are increasingly in short supply. Rubber products that formed irreversible chemical bonds in the vulcanization process are difficult to recycle, resulting in a serious waste of resources. Therefore, it is important to prepare a kind of reprocessable biobased elastomers. Using furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) as the modified monomer, poly(dibutyl itaconate-myrcene-furfuryl methacrylate) (PDBIMFA) was synthesized by high-temperature emulsion polymerization successfully. The structure and compositions of PDBIMFA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and 1H NMR, and the effects of different FMA contents on the structures and properties of PDBIMFA were systematically studied. Based on the Diels-Alder reaction, bismaleimide (BMI) and carbon black (CB) were introduced into PDBIMFA as cross-linking agents and reinforcing fillers, respectively, by the melt blending method, and PDBIMFA-BMI elastomer materials and CB/PDBIMFA-BMI elastomer composites with thermo-reversible cross-linking characteristics were prepared. The effects of the ratio of FMA and BMI on the mechanical properties of PDBIMFA-BMI were studied. PDBIMFA-BMI and CB/PDBIMFA-BMI were reprocessed twice, and the recovery rate of tensile strength was both more than 90%. The addition of CB was found to play a reinforcing role in the elastomer and with the introduction of the amount of CB, the reprocessability of composite remained at a good level. It is hoped that this research will provide a new strategy for the sustainable development of bio-based elastomer materials.

Abstract
Polarity determines the oil resistance property of elastomers. In this work, three bio-based polyester elastomers (BPEs) with different mass fraction of ester groups (E) are designed and synthesized aiming to study the relationship of E and oil resistance performance, and to obtain bio-based elastomer materials with tunable oil resistance. Through adjusting the chain length of monomers, E of poly(ethylene glycol/1,3-propanediol/succinate/adipate/itaconate)(PEPSAI), poly(1,3-propanediol/1,4-butanediol/succinate/adipate/itaconate)(PPBSAI), and poly(1,3-propanediol/1,4-butanediol/sebacate/adipate/itaconate)(PPBSeAI) are ≈50.39%, 48.55%, and 39.68%, respectively. Results show that E has great influence on the oil resistance of BPEs. After being immersed in IRM-903# oil for 72 h at room temperature, the changes in mass and volume of BPEs decrease along with the increasing mass fraction of ester groups, indicating improved oil resistance performance. PEPSAI with the highest mass fraction of ester groups presents better oil resistance and lower Tg (better low-temperature resistance) than one of the most used commercial oil-resistant rubber nitrile rubber (N230S). Thus, this work provides a promising strategy to obtain bio-based oil resistant elastomers with practical value.

Abstract
Rubber used in tire is usually strengthened by nanofiller, and the most popular nanofiller for tire tread rubber is nano silica, which can not only strengthen rubber but also lower the tire rolling resistance to reduce fuel consumption. However, silica particles are difficult to disperse in the rubber matrix because of the abundant silicon hydroxyl on their surface. Silane coupling agents are always used to modify silica and improve their dispersion, but a large number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted during the manufacturing of the nanosilica/rubber composites because of the condensation reaction between silane coupling agents and silicon hydroxyl on the surface of silica. Those VOCs will do great harm to the environment and the workers’ health. In this work, epoxidized solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubbers (ESSBR) with different epoxy degrees were prepared and used as macromolecular coupling agents aimed at fully eliminating VOCs. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses verified that the different ESSBRs were successfully synthesized from solution polymerized styrene-butadiene rubbers (SSBR). With the help of the reaction between epoxy groups and silicon hydroxyl without any VOC emission, nanosilica can be well dispersed in the rubber matrix when SSBR partially replaced by ESSBR which was proved by Payne effect and TEM analysis. Dynamic and static mechanical testing demonstrated that silica/ESSBR/SSBR/BR nanocomposites have better performance and no VOC emission compared with Bis-(γ-triethoxysilylpropyl)-disulfide (TESPD) modified silica/rubber nanocomposites. ESSBR is very hopeful to replace traditional coupling agent TESPD to get high properties silica/rubber nanocomposites with no VOCs emission.

Abstract
A novel elastomer poly(diethyl itaconate-co-butyl acrylate-co-ethyl acrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (PDEBEG) was designed and synthesized by redox emulsion polymerization based on bio-based diethyl itaconate, butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate. The PDEBEG has a number average molecular weight of more than 200,000 and the yield is up to 96%. It is easy to control the glass transition temperature of the PDEBEG, which is ranged from −25.2 to −0.8 °C, by adjusting the monomer ratio. We prepared PDEBEG/CB composites by mixing PDEBEG with carbon black N330 and studied the oil resistance of the composites. The results show that the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the composites with 10 wt% diethyl itaconate can reach up to 14.5 MPa and 305%, respectively. The mechanical properties and high-temperature oil resistance of the composites are superior to that of the commercially available acrylate rubber AR72LS.
