Biorenewable polyisoprene latex obtained from natural rubber, Hevea brasiliensis , is used to prepare the reusable polyisoprene modified poly(alkyl acrylate) foam via latex vulcanization system. Arissara Ratcha, Chanatip Samart, Boonyawan Yoosuk, Hideo Sawada, Prasert Reubroycharoen, and Suwadee Kongparakul discover the presence of poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate) and poly(butyl acrylate) enhance the petroleum‐based liquid sorption capacity. The absorbed oil is easily recovered by squeezing and the foam can be reused up to 30 sorption‐desorption cycles and still preserve high quality sorption. The cover shows the surface roughness of interconnected open‐cell macrostructure of the foam. (DOI: 10.1002/app.42688 )
