Reinforcement of Natural Rubber Latex Film by Starch Nanocrystal

Abstract:

Starch nanocrystals obtained from acid hydrolysis, and the starch/natural rubber latex film was prepared by blending the starch nanocrystals with natural rubber latex. The latex properties such as viscosity and mechanical stability, water and toluene uptake, crosslinking density and mechanical properties of the latex films were investigated. The results showed that the mechanical stability of natural rubber latex reinforced by starch nanocrystals increased, but the change of viscosity was not obvious. By adding starch nanocrystals in natural rubber latex, the swelling by toluene decreases and the swelling by water increased. The mechanical properties and crosslinking density of films were enhanced with the increase of starch loading.
