Alkanolamide-modifed kaolin was added into natural rubber latex (NRL) pre-vulcanization system at 70°C and the products were formed into films by coagulant dipping method. The dipped films then were dried at 120°C for 15 and 30 min. The effect of drying time on properties of NRL films such as crosslink density, tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break was observed in this study. Results showed that longer drying time improved the properties of NRL films due to the additional formation of crosslink process in the NRL films. The longer drying time swelled the particles more in matrix as confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrograph.

Cassava peel is one of agricultural waste that abundantly found in environment. One approach to manage this waste is to apply it as filler in natural rubber latex. In this work, the cassava peel waste (CPW) was powdered and dispersed in alkanolamide-water dispersion system to modify its surface. The amount of fillers used was 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 phr (part per hundred rubber) and loaded in natural rubber latex (NRL) formulation system. The products then were formed by dipping method after the NRL formulation was pre-vulcanized at 70°C. The observed parameter includes crosslink density, tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation at break. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to study the morphology of tensile fracture in NRL film. The results show that 10 phr loading of modified fillers increases the crosslink density, tensile strength, and tensile modulus but decreases the elongation at break. SEM study also reveals that higher filler loading above 10 phr will create the agglomeration in rubber matrix.

The is research aims to determine the effect of vulcanization temperature and composition of bentonite clay as good filler on mechanical properties of natural rubber latex product. In this study, we use bentonite clay as filler and alkanolamide as compatibilizer. The material used in this study are high ammonia latex 60%, curative agents such as sulfur, ZnO, ZDEC, AO, KOH, bentonite clay and alkanolamide. Alkanolamide is synthesized from amidation reaction between Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil and diethanolamine. The methodology includes pre-vulcanizing natural rubber latex with certain formulation, then vulcanized using dipping method. The variable used in this study is filler loading, from 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 gram, and vulcanization time 10 minutes.  The products were then tested in order to observe its mechanical properties, FTIR characterization, SEM characterization and crosslink density. The results show that the synthesized alkanolamide possess the functional group desired. Alkanolamide modified bentonite clay loading is capable of increasing crosslink density and mechanical properties of the products. Optimum filler loading is reported on 10 gram and optimum vulcanization at 120oC.

Abstract An electron microscopy technique which has been used to visualize the crosslinked regions in vulcanized blends of dry rubber has now been applied to films made from natural rubber (NR) latex. The method involves swelling the latex film with styrene, polymerizing the styrene, sectioning the sample and then staining with osmium tetroxide to reveal the rubber network when observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The micrographs show the higher ratio of interparticle to intraparticle crosslinks in a sulphur post-vulcanized film as compared with a sulphur prevulcanized film. They also show that, as in dry rubber films, the mesh size of the visible rubber network correlates with the crosslink density of the rubber. The technique also reveals that the crosslink distribution in peroxide prevulcanized latex (PPVL) is significantly different from that in latices prevulcanized using sulphur or radiation.
