Novel flexible polyurethane foams were successfully prepared from a renewable source, hydroxyte-lechelic natural rubber (HTNR) having different molecular weights (1000-3400 g mol-1) and variation of epoxide contents (EHTNR, 0-35% epoxidation) by a one-shot technique. The chemical and cell structures...
