Low-temperature exfoliated graphene oxide incorporated with different types of natural rubber latex: Electrical and morphological properties and its capacitance performance

Graphene-related materials such as graphene oxide (GO)/exfoliated graphene oxide (XGO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) recently achieved much interest in nanocomposite research. In this study, we report the synthesis of RGO by a green route, and its efficacy as a potential filler for radiation-vulcanised natural rubber latex (RVNRL) was explored. The synthesised XGO and RGO suspensions were characterised. The mechanical, morphological and electrical properties of the RVNRL-XGO/RGO nanocomposites were evaluated as a function of filler content. The percolation threshold of the RVNRL-RGO composite was 0.1 wt%. Compared with gum RVNRL, significant improvements in tensile strength and elongation at break were obtained for RVNRL-XGO nanocomposites at 1 wt% XGO loading, indicating increased polymer–filler interaction. The morphological results showed aggregation of filler particles at a concentration of 1.25 wt%.

Different Types

The effect of different types and loading of cleaning agent on the tensile properties and swelling properties of natural rubber latex film were investigated. The aim for this study is to find the cleaning agent which is compatible with natural rubber latex with optimum loading. In this study, there are two different amine based cleaning agent used which are Monoethanolamine (MEA) and Di-(3-aminopropyl) ether of diethylene glycol (DG). Swelling test was done to support the tensile results. It is found that tensile properties of the sample with MEA cleaning agent is higher than control sample (without cleaning agent) and sample with DG cleaning agent. For the best cleaning agent compound, the different loading has been tested and results showed that optimum loading of cleaning agent are achieved at 5 phr. The effects of both types of cleaning agents and different loading of cleaning agents on tensile properties and swelling properties for cleaning mold application are discuss.
