Different catalytic routes were developed for direct NBR latex hydrogenation. It was found these catalytic systems increased the catalysis efficiency in a micro heterogeneous system (aqueous micellar). Most notably, no organic solvent is needed, and many pre/post-treatment procedures are no longer needed which makes this process very promising and simple.
