What is the effect of chlorinating rubber?
What will be an ideal response?
Chloroprene rubber or neoprene has many benefits. It has a chlorine bonded to one of the carbons in the carbon-carbon double bond. The effect of the chlorine is to improve oil resistance. Since the chlorine is a larger molecule it will cause intermolecular interference and greater strength and stiffness than polybutadiene, polyisoprene, and natural rubber. The chlorine also gives the material greater thermal stability and also makes it nonflammable.
