Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber derived from styrene and butadiene monomers. There are two main types: emulsion SBR produced via emulsion polymerization, and solution SBR produced via anionic polymerization. SBR has good abrasion resistance and aging stability when protected by additives. Approximately 50% of car tires are made from SBR, with higher styrene content rubbers being harder and less rubbery. Common applications of SBR include use in car tires, shoe soles, gaskets, and coated papers.
