AbstractThe starch/natural rubber composite was prepared by blending the modified starch by esterification with natural rubber latex. The modified starch particles are homogenously distributed throughout the natural rubber (NR) matrix. In comparison with the host NR, the thermal stability of composite is significantly improved. The thermal degradation temperatures (T) and reaction activation energy (E) of composite are higher than those of the pure NR. The hardness, stress at 500%, tensile strength, permanent deformation and tear strength of composite increase linearly with the increment of dosage of modified starch.

The porous starch was modified by xanthates, and the starch/natural rubber composite was prepared by blending the modified starch with natural rubber latex. The morphology, thermal stability, swelling behavior and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. Morphology studies by SEM showed that the modified porous starch were homogeneously dispersed in NR matrix. The composite has higher solvent resistance and lower water resistance after adding modified porous starch. The mechanical properties of composite are improved significanly with the increase of modified porous starch.

The rice husk ash (RHA) was first modified with epoxidized natural rubber latex (ENRL) and then blended with natural rubber latex (NRL) to prepare NR/RHA composite. The morphological structure, thermal stability and dynamic properties were studied with multiple instruments. FTIR and TGA analysis showed that ENR was grafted onto the surface of RHA. The composite prepared with modified RHA showed better dispersity and reinforcement compared to the composite with unmodified RHA, and the glass-transition temperature tended to be higher.
