Description

The effect of heating and leaching on the mechanical properties of radiation vulcanized natural rubber latex (RVNRL) film was investigated. It was found that heating and leaching improved tensile strength of film considerably. The tensile strength could increase as high as 25 % upon heating alone and as high as 75 % upon leaching and drying. The increase in the tensile strength was attributed to reduced moisture content, better particle cohesion and improved entanglement of molecular chains. Complete leaching and drying of RVNRL was found to be important to obtain better and consistent results on the mechanical properties of films from RVNRL. (author)
