Morphology And Mechanical Properties

ABSTRACT Decelerated fermentation of natural rubber latex was performed to investigate the relationship between the morphology and mechanical properties of natural rubber. Natural rubber latex was preserved with sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, as a bactericide, to decelerate the fermentation of nonrubber components such as proteins, phospholipids, carbohydrate, and so forth. Gradual increases in the viscosity of the latex and gel content of the resulting rubber took place as the preservation period was prolonged, which were distinguished from less change in the viscosity of high-ammonia natural rubber (HANR) and high gel content of its rubber. The particle size distribution was dramatically changed during decelerated fermentation, although that of the HANR latex did not change. The pH and nitrogen content of the rubbers were independent of the preservation time. Morphology of the fermented natural rubber and the HANR was observed with scanning probe microscopy. Fewer mechanical properties of the fermented natural rubber were related to the destruction of the nanomatrix structure of the nonrubber components, which resulted from the decrease in the fatty acid ester groups with bacteria as compared with the good mechanical properties of the HANR.

Starch Nanocrystals

Starch nanocrystals obtained from acid hydrolysis, and the starch/natural rubber latex film was prepared by blending the starch nanocrystals with natural rubber latex. The latex properties such as viscosity and mechanical stability, water and toluene uptake, crosslinking density and mechanical properties of the latex films were investigated. The results showed that the mechanical stability of natural rubber latex reinforced by starch nanocrystals increased, but the change of viscosity was not obvious. By adding starch nanocrystals in natural rubber latex, the swelling by toluene decreases and the swelling by water increased. The mechanical properties and crosslinking density of films were enhanced with the increase of starch loading.
