Crosslinking of Epoxidized Natural Rubber with Borax for Self‐Healing and Self‐Repairing Properties: pH Dependence

Front Cover: In article 2300512, Tamonwan Chantaramanee, Supachok Tanpichai, and Anyaporn Boonmahitthisud demonstrate the epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) crosslinked by borax with self‐healing and self‐repairing properties under atmospheric conditions without the need of external stimuli. ENR prepared under alkaline conditions has more potential to promote the formation of crosslinked network with borax and self‐healing and self‐repairing ability of rubber.
