Abstract
Poly(Styrene-co-butadiene) can be quantitatively hydrogenated using tr is(triphenyl phosphine) ruthenium(II) chloride, RuCl2(PPh(3))(3) as ca talyst. The effect of temperature, pressure and catalyst concentration on both the rate and degree of hydrogenation have been studied. The h ydrogenated elastomers have been characterized by IR, H-1 NMR and TGA.
