Abstract The rubber particles in the latex of Hevea brasiliensis are present in the form of a polydispersion, and their diameters lie within the range of 0.1 to 3 microns. The rubber hydrocarbon itself is composed of a mixture of macromolecules of different degrees of polymerization. Rubber latex is, therefore, a system which is at the same time both polydispersed and polymolecular. It is well known that the degree of dispersion of a substance governs to a great extent certain properties of the substance. Moreover, astonishing as it may seem, in the great number of investigations which have been made of the composition and properties of latex and crude rubber, almost no attention has been paid to the part which may be played by the dimensions of the latex particles. However, in an investigation concerned with the centrifugation of latex, Loomis and Stump have called attention to this possibility, and in a study of latex obtained by fractionation, and in which the majority of the latex particles were of large dimensions, McGavack came to the conclusion that the protein content is proportional to the surface area of the globules. This limited knowledge of the subject seemed to warrant a more thorough study of the problem, which is of fundamental importance both from the theoretical and practical points of view. The investigation as a whole divided itself into three essential parts: (1) separation of latex into fractions containing particles of different sizes, and measurement of the state of dispersion in these fractions, (2) a study of the relation of these fractions to the composition of the rubber, i.e., the relation between the content of nonrubber components and the size of the latex particles, and (3) a study of the changes in the properties of the rubber hydrocarbon with change in the size of the latex particles. The latex used in this investigation was ordinary latex, containing 38–40 per cent dry-rubber content and preserved with ammonia. For the most important points, a concentrated latex (creamed latex containing 60 per cent dry-rubber content) was also tested. These two latices were about two years old when the investigation was started, and they gave results which were in good agreement with each other. In the present paper, only the data obtained with the first of the two latices are presented.

Abstract The latex and natural rubber from rubber trees [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. exAdr. de Juss.) Muell. Arg.] from clones (RRIM 600, IAN 873, GT 1 and PB 252) recommended to the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were studied in three different tapping systems. The parameters studied were dry rubber content (DRC), percentages of ash and of nitrogen, Wallace Plasticity (P0) and Mooney Viscosity (VR). The rubber properties vary considerably as a function of clone type, tapping method and season of the year. DRC tends to decrease in the beginning of the dry, cold season (May and June), whereas both nitrogen % and ash % increase in the same period. A good linear correlation was obtained for P0 and VR. The highest P0 and VR were obtained for RRIM 600.

Abstract The morphology of the hydrocarbon particles of latices obtained from several rubber producing plants has in recent years again been the subject of studies applying the most modern tools of research. Lucas used for his studies an ultraviolet light microscope and later ultramicrocinematography. Quite recently Hendricks, Wildman, and McMurdie applied electron microscopy for the first time for this purpose. Since some of the deductions in regard to the form and structure of latex particles which have been drawn from these studies differ in several respects from conclusions based on micrugic and ultramicroscopic studies, some of which were reported twenty years ago, it seems advisable to clarify the picture. Such clarification is most important at present, because a better knowledge of the morphology of natural and synthetic rubber latex particles might offer a valuable aid in explaining some of the differences in the properties of these hydrocarbon polymers, which are not readily explainable on the basis of differences in chemical composition alone.

Abstract The Journal of the Rubber Research Institute of Malaya, 5, 234 (1934), contained a paper on the specific gravity of preserved latex written by the writer of this note. The paper has recently been made the subject of constructive comment by de Vries. As a result of the examination of 852 samples of preserved latex, a specific gravity/dry rubber content table was derived for preserved natural latices, and the dry rubber content range covered was wide enough to include natural unconcentrated latex in all the phases in which it is likely to be required by or become available to the commercial user. By the unavoidable expedient of extrapolation from the experimental results, a value of 0.902 was also derived for the specific gravity of the rubber phase in preserved latex. This value was in good agreement with the figure of 0.901 obtained by Scholtz and Klotz for “rubber” in fresh latex. On the other hand, de Vries, working with fresh latex had previously derived a value of 0.914 for the specific gravity of the rubber phase, and the specific gravity table used by the Rubber Trade Association of London for preserved latex gives on straight line extrapolation a value of 0.912. It seemed that the value indicated by the work of De Vries and that deduced from the table of the Rubber Trade Association were probably rather high, and certain experiments with centrifugal concentrated and centrifugal concentrate-skim mixtures were cited which provided some confirmatory evidence of this conclusion.

Legal features of dispute resolution in the order of mediation are of particular in-terest in connection with the relatively new and unexamined, from a scientific point of view, phenomenon of modernity, arising from increasing processes of globalization and internationalization of legal systems, as well as scientific and technical progress. This article is devoted to the scientific study of the international legal regulation of such phenomena as mediation on the example of the analysis of the legislation of foreign countries, and law of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This article presents various points of view of international and Kazakh scientists on the subject of dispute resolution in the mediation procedure. It was concluded that the mediation has a number of advantages, which satisfies the need of a person, society and the state to solve conflicts quickly and efficiently with minimal losses.

Abstract Hevea latex is generally considered to be a suspension of rubber particles of various dimensions up to about 3 µ. The rubber hydrocarbon contains no “ionogenic groups,” and it is believed that part of the serum components imparts a negative charge to the rubber particles. Almost all latex imported into Europe is preserved by means of 0.5 to 0.7 per cent of ammonia. This ammonia plays a three-fold part: (1) it prevents premature souring of the latex; (2) it increases somewhat the charge on the particles; and (3) it attacks all types of serum components so that within a short time the “preserved” latex is hardly comparable with natural latex. As with all suspensions in which the dispersed phase is lighter than the dispersing medium, rubber latex exhibits the phenomena of creaming. The density of the rubber particles is approximately 0.914, that of the medium, 1.020. By means of creaming, it is possible to obtain a latex (1) which has a higher rubber content, whereby transportation space and cost are saved, and (2) which contains no components having a tendency to deposit a sediment. The natural creaming of latex, which is of no importance technically, was observed by Faraday as early as 1825.

Abstract Rubber latex has become a very important raw material and finds many applications, ranging from the proofing of fabrics and impregnation of paper to the manufacture of elastic threads, can-sealing compounds, adhesives, and upholstery. A large amount of research work has been carried out in the East with a view to supplying preserved latex suitable for these processes. The latex as it leaves the tree has an average dry rubber content of about 33 to 35 per cent, and is so unstable that it will coagulate within a few hours unless a preservative is added. Ammonia has been found to be a suitable preservative and, in spite of the continued search for new materials, it remains in general use. The problem of concentrating the latex to avoid the shipment of surplus water arose early. Three methods for carrying out this operation were developed, namely, centrifugal concentration, creaming by the addition of gums and mucilages, and evaporation. A fourth method, utilizing the phenomena of electrodialysis, has recently been the subject of commercial development. The advent of concentrated latex widened the field of latex applications, since the concentrated products found uses for which preserved field latex was not suitable. For many processes the properties and applications of the latex or concentrate are now perhaps more important that the question of shipping cost. Various types of product, described briefly below, are obtained from the different processes of concentration.

Abstract This study compared the total solid content and compound properties of Hevea rubber latex produced from material collected during different periods. Samples were collected from five trees, with the collection replicated three times with tapping task as replication. Observed parameters included total solid content, vulcanization characteristics, technical and physical properties. The results exhibited that the longer latex flowed, the more total solid content tended to decrease. Results indicate that compound of latex collected 20 minutes (C20), 60 minutes (C60), and 300 minutes (C300) after tapping qualified for SIR 20. Other parameters did not show a significant difference among the three tested compounds. Considering the products requiring high dry rubber content, it is suggested not to blend the late collection with main collected latex.

В современной методологии юриспруденции происходит переход от изучения состо­яний ее объекта, которыми выступают право и государство, к постижению этого объек­та в его изменениях и превращениях. Две подсистемы методологии юриспруденции, подсистема обращенная к состоянию права и государства; и подсистема обращенная к изменениям права и государства, — получают свое отображение в концептуальной форме, методологических подходах, методах, специфических понятиях. Показательны перемены в содержании методологии юриспруденции, где определяю­щее значение имеют методологические подходы, определяющие стратегию исследова­тельских поисков во взаимосвязи юриспруденции с правом и государством. Среди наи­более характерных подходов антропологический, аксиологический, цивилизационный, синергетический и герменевтический — определяют плюралистичность современной методологии и свидетельствуют о становлении новой парадигмы методологии юриспру­денции.   In modern methodology of jurisprudence there is a transition from the study the states of its object to its comprehension in changes and transformations. Hence the two subsystems of methodology of jurisprudence: subsystem facing the states of the law and the state as well as their components and aspects; and subsystem facing the changes of the law and the state in general and their constituents. These subsystems of methodology of jurisprudence receive its reflection in conceptual form, methodological approaches, methods, specific concepts. Methodology of jurisprudence should not be restricted to the methodology of legal theory. In this regard, it is an important methodological question about subject of jurisprudence. It is proposed to consider the subject of jurisprudence as complex, covering both the law and the state in their specificity, interaction and integrity. Indicative changes in the content methodology of jurisprudence are the usage of decisive importance methodological approaches that govern research strategy searches in conjunction with the law and the state. Among the most characteristic of modern development approaches: anthropological, axiological, civilization, synergistic and hermeneutic. Modern methodology of jurisprudence is pluralistic in nature alleging various approaches to the law and the state. Marked approaches allow the formation of a new paradigm methodology of jurisprudence.
