Radiation vulcanization of natural rubber latex using 250 keV electron beam machine

Description

The sensitized radiation vulcanization of natural rubber latex has been carried out with 250 keV electrons. Latex was irradiated over a range of the beam current from 5 to 20 mA in the presence of sensitizers like the n-butyl acrylate (n-BA). The vulcanization dose decreases with increasing beam current condition. The rate of vulcanization (Rvul) depends on the beam current (I) as given by the equation Rvul=kI0.6
