Knotty tearing is a phenomena normally observed in reinforced black-filled natural rubber (NR) vulcanizate but not in gum NR vulcanizate. Unfortunately the underlying cause of knotty tear is still not fully understood and need to be unraveled. Many factors contribute to knotty tear behavior which include suppression of strain-induce crystallization, protein content of latex, vulcanization temperature and pre-vulcanization and post-vulcanization of latex. In this study, we concentrate on varying the maturation time during compounding process in filled NR latex (NRL) to study knotty tear behavior. The maturation time were varied in the range (0 – 72) hrs; and the tear deviation were measured to determine the extent of knotty tear phenomena. It was found that at the optimum maturation time of 24 hrs samples show highest tearing energy and show knotty tear phenomena with the least angle of tear deviation

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the pre-vulcanization temperature on mechanical and rheological properties of starch filled natural rubber (NR) latex films. The 10 phr filler loading of starch was added into the latex prior to the pre-vulcanization process at 60°C to 140°C. The dipped films were cured in the oven at 100°C for 20 minutes and cooled at room temperature for 24 hours before stripping. The rheological properties of NR latex compounds were studied based on the viscosity measurement. The tensile and tear tests of starch filled NR latex films were also carried out. The results indicated that the rheological properties of the latex compounds showed shear thickening behavior where viscosity was increased with the increase in shear rate and pre-vulcanization temperature proportionally. The pre-vulcanization temperature at 80°C showed the optimum mechanical properties of starch filled NR latex films.
