Abstract:
The main objective of the present study was to
explore ways of making latex products more cost effective
and versatile. Polyethylene glycol was identified as a
surface active agent in latex compounds which improves the
filler-polymer interaction and also distributes the filler
more uniformly. The use of such surface active agents can
develop filled latex products with improved mechanical
properties at a lower cost. In this study dispersions of carbon black and silica were successfully added to NR latex under high speed stirring without destabilizing latex.

Abstract:
Systematic investigations on prevulcanization of NR latex with
special reference to the influence of storage of latex and after-treatments
of films, have been carried out. The other aspects studied include the
effect of temperature on sulphur prevulcanization, the extent of crosslinking,
tensile properties, stress relaxation characteristics, water absorption and
leaching characteristics of prevulcanizcd latex films
