ABSTRACT The kinetics of the chlorination of low-concentration natural rubber latex was investigated. The kinetic data were derived from chlorine concentrations in chlorinated natural rubber (CNR) for different reaction times and temperatures. The chlorination reaction process can be divided into two stages—a high-speed period (stage 1) and a low-speed period (stage 2)—using the graphed curves of the change in chlorine content with change in reaction time. The relationship of the chlorination conversion ratio x to reaction time t and temperature T can be expressed as x = 1.15 − 0.916e−kt, where the kinetic constant k = 0.00907 + 6.39 × 10−6e0.0211T. The overall apparent reaction order n for the first stage is 4.8, whereas for the second stage it is 1.0, using kinetic fitting. The apparent activation energy Ea was calculated, using the Arrhenius equation, to be 5.32 kJ/mol for stage 2. The lower value of Ea suggests that the chlorination rate is less sensitive to reaction temperature in this stage. The chlorination reaction rate increases with the increase in reaction temperature during stage 2, but the effects are not visible. However, a temperature that is too high may result in energy being wasted. We conclude that the proper reaction temperature in stage 2, taking the kinetic effects into account, is between 323.15 and 353.15 K.

ABSTRACT A process for production of carbon black/silica/nanoclay ternary filler masterbatch from fresh natural rubber (NR) latex was standardized. The fillers, nanoclay, carbon black, and silica were incorporated in fresh NR latex by a modified coagulation process. The latex, mixed with filler dispersions, coagulated immediately on addition of acids. The coagulum containing fillers was dried at 70 °C in an air oven to get the latex filler masterbatch, which was further processed in the conventional way. The masterbatch compounds containing only silica/carbon black showed a higher level of vulcanization as compared with the corresponding dry mixes. The mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, modulus, tear strength, abrasion resistance, and hardness, increased with the proportion of nanoclay in the mixes up to 5 phr, and with a greater amount, the change was only marginal. Lower tan delta values were observed for all of the masterbatches containing nanoclay in the ranges of 3 to 10 phr compared with the control dry mix containing 25/25 carbon black/silica. The improvement in mechanical properties and dynamic properties shown by the masterbatches over the conventional mill-mixed compounds was attributed to factors related to filler dispersion, as evidenced from the data from dispersion analyzer images, X-ray diffractograms, and a higher level of vulcanization.
