Chinese scientists have developed a new method for producing high-strength rubber using rare earth elements, specifically neodymium. This advanced rubber, designed for enhanced durability and elasticity, is intended for use in electric vehicles and heavy-duty transport. A new production facility, set to begin operations on July 16, will utilize over six decades of research in rare earth catalytic synthesis for butadiene rubber. AI
