Natural rubber latex (NRL) modified by holgonated addition with trichlorobromomethane was prepared. The thermal properties of modified NRL were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG),differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA). The results showed that the thermal stability of modified NRL was lower than NRL and the thermal degradation of modified NRL was two-stage decomposition. With increasing of stress frequency, loss modulus and storage modulus of latex increased,while loss modulus and storage modulus of modified latex decreased,compared with NRL.

To improve the interfacial bonding and thermal stability of graphene oxide (GO)/polypropylene (PP) composite fibers, a composite fiber with PP as the matrix, GO as reinforcement and maleic anhydride-grafted PP (PP-g-MAH) as a compatibilizer was prepared by a simple and efficient melt-blending method. The GO content was 0.0–5.0 wt %. According to the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy results, the interfacial bonding in the PP/MAH/GO composite fibers was improved. The Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) results show that the addition of GO resulted in better interfacial adhesion and higher storage modulus (E′). The loss modulus (E′′) of the PP/MAH/GO-x composite fibers increased with increasing amount of added GO, whereas the loss factor (tan δ) decreased. GO and PP-g-MAH were analyzed by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The thermal stability of the composite fibers was improved compared to PP. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that the addition of PP-g-MAH to the composite fiber improved the interfacial bonding of GO in the PP matrix. Thus, compatibility between the two components was obtained. Based on the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) results, the PP fibers exhibited relative orientation due to the strong crystalline morphology. The rough section, PP/GO blend fiber exhibits a very clear phase separation morphology due to the incompatibility between the two and the compatibility of GO and PP in PP/MAH/GO-3 composite fiber is improved, resulting in the interface between the two has improved.

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.

Surface modified nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was prepared by silicon-69, and then blended into natural rubber latex to prepare nanocomposites. The nanocomposites properties of tensile properties, tear strength, morphology and thermal dynamic mechanical properties were measured by mechanical property testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), respectively. The results showed that modified NCC is homogeneously distributed throughout NR matrix, which leads to the enhancement on mechanical properties. Moreover, the storage modulus (E) of modified nanocellulose filled NR is higher than unmodified nanocellulose filled NR, and the tanδ is reversed.

Novel hydrogels based on natural rubber latex (NRL) and rice starch (RSt) (1:2 ratio) were prepared with various amount of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) and 2.5 phr of maleic acid to form interpenetrating networks (IPN) using free-radical polymerization technique. The thermal and mechanical properties were performed by differential scanning calorimetry and mechanical tests. From data obtained, the change in Tg of rubber and melting point of RSt indicated that polymer-polymer interaction could be formed in IPN hydrogel. The higher amount addition of MBA created more mechanical strength of IPN hydrogels caused by the higher of interlacement formation. However, their mechanical strength of such hydrogels was lower than that of NRL alone due to the formation of amorphous structure in IPN hydrogel. These IPN hydrogels also improved the swelling property which will be utilized for wound healing application.
