    High cis-polybutadiene (BR) and high cis-polyisoprene (IR) are widely used in the industrial field such as materials for tire.
    High cis-BRs prepared from Ziegler-type catalyst system are effective to take a cis configuration in high levels, however, the molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn) of obtained BRs are fairly broad. BR having both narrow Mw/Mn and high cis configuration levels are desirable for the purpose of better abrasion resistance, higher resilience and lower heat build-up, and so on.
    On the other hand, 1, 4-cis selectivity of IR synthesized with Li-, Ti- and Nd-based catalysts are still lower than NR, and their physical properties, e.g., Green strength, tensile strength or tear strength, are not satisfactory compared to NR.
    Recently, several kinds of catalysis systems were investigated to achieve simultaneous control of both molecular weight distribution and cis-1, 4 specificity in the polymerization of both butadiene and isoprene. In this paper, recent trends in research on the polymerization of cis-1, 4 polybutadiene and cis-1, 4-polyisoprene are reviewed.

    To date, various kinds of styrene-butadiene rubber have been used in various industrial materials. These SBRs are manufactured by emulsion polymerization (radical polymerization) or solution polymerization (anionic polymerization). Anionic polymerization technique has characteristics that can design SBR structure easily. The most remarkable technology of S-SBR is to be able to introduce the functional group into SBR terminal easily. By using this technique, various modified SBRs are developed and placed on the market. Silica-filled rubber compounds show low hysteresis loss in comparison with carbon black-filled rubber compounds, and silica has been recognized as a notable filler for high performance tires with good wet grip and low rolling resistance and it is used in all over the world as reinforcing filler for tire tread. Recently, modified S-SBRs are actively developed in order to apply silica composition to tire treads material. Introduction technology of functional group draws attention as technology, which brings out the characteristic of reinforcing filler (silica, carbon black, etc.) filled composite materials. Also new modified S-SBR will be developed in future.

    Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers (NBR) and hydrogenated crylonitrile-butadiene rubbers (HNBR) have been widely used as oil-resistant elastomers especially in automotive applications. The history of NBR is very old and has ripened as technology. However, the needs to NBR still continue, such as enhance durability, reduce environmental damage, and our contribution to the information technology. These resulted the improvement of NBR to be still is imperative. For this purpose, new NBR have recently been developed. For example, NBR for electronic products was developed by reducing metal ions. The fast-cure-type NBR was developed to increase the rubber part productivity. New technologies such as copolymerization with third monomers, a blend with other polymers and technologies to control polymer structure are applied to NBR. HNBR is excellent in heat and ozone resistances when comparing with NBR. The improvement of both heat and low-temperature resistance is always required. For applying to this demand, new low-temperature flexibility HNBR with highly hydrogenation were developed by precise control of molecular structure and hydrogenation technology. These new HNBRs are suitable applications required wide range of operational temperatures.

    The technical trend of automotive rubber parts made of Ethylene Propylene Terpolymer (EPDM) is discussed from the viewpoint of technical background of automotive market. This has rapidly been changed by the effect from the change in human's life style, interest in environmental preservation and the safe(ty) driving. This trend of automotive requires the change of performance of rubber parts. Parts for amenity will be expected to reduce its weight and gain the higher performance, and parts for driving mechanism will be expected to gain the higher heat resistance with reduced weight. And also, easy processing ability is going to be required to EPDM to obtain good cured rubber products in anywhere, by any mixing machines and by any operating persons.

    Isobutylene based rubbers have unique property such as impermeability to air and various gases. Main product of isobutylene based rubbers is butyl rubber, which was commercialized about 60 years before and has been used mainly for tire innertubes. Halobutyl rubbers were invented and enabled co-cure with natural rubber. The halobutyl rubbers are used mainly in tire innerliner application. To further meet market/customer requirements to butyl rubbers in various applications, star-branched butyl rubbers were developed mainly to improve processability of butyl rubbers with bimodal molecular weight distribution including star shape molecules as high molecular weight portion. And brominated Isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene rubbers of which ozone and heat resistance were improved by the saturated backbone and cross-linking chemistry, respectively, were also commercialized. Both star-branched butyl and brominated Isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene rubbers maintain attributes of butyl rubbers.

    Chloroprene Rubber(CR) industry counted 70 years already after its discovery by Dr. Carothers, however CR still secures substantial portion of original market because of its well-balanced performance. This review overviews the progress in CR technology and market during the last 10 years. The major cause of declining demand is the aggressive replacement by other elastomers typically found in automotive and adhesive application. To save the situation, polymer development is focused on better storage stability of polymer in dry rubber field and longer open-time with good hot bond strength in adhesive application. Besides, latex field is being cultivated in relation to water-borne adhesives, dipped goods (especially medical disposable gloves), and asphalt modification.
    Also progress are observed in a research on hydrogenated polychloroprene (HCR) and an attempt to use CR latex as material to prepare effective Al electrolytic condenser although they are still experimental stage. We see the light on CR's future at the other end of the tunnel.

    Polyurethane elastomers have been widely used as industrial materials and others because of their outstanding mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Polyurethanes are composed of the three main raw materials; isocyanate, chain extender and polyol. There are a number of combinations of these raw materials. Consequently, polyurethane elastomers exhibit various characteristics according to the kinds of these components.
    Polyurethane elastmers will discolor after exposure to UV light in general. In recent years, the discoloration of polyurethane has been improved by using an aliphatic diisocyanate. Generally, polyesher-based polyurethane elastmers are weak at heat aging resistance, and polyester-based polyurethane exhibits poor hydrolysis resistance. Although only the use of polycarbonatepolyol as soft-segment gives excellent properties of both heat aging and hydrolysis resistance.
    In addition, characteristic polyurethanes have been reported various types such as water absorbing, biodegradation and shape memorization. Novel characteristic polyurethanes will be developed by various composite techniques.
