Effect of latex concentration on the extent of epoxidation and physical properties of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was evaluated as a function of latex concentration in the range of 20–60% by weight. The epoxidation rate increased with increasing latex concentration. Physical properties and sequence distribution of an epoxy group of ENR with 30 mol % epoxy content was invariant with the latex concentration employed for epoxidation.
