Cast Natural Rubber Films Comprising Triethyl Citrate

Abstract:

The various triethyl citrate-loaded natural rubber (NR) films were prepared by casting technique employing dichloromethane (DCM) as solvent. The wettability, mechanical properties and topology of prepared dry films were determined. The contact angle of distilled water onto the cast films was measured using the goniometer. Triethyl citrate-loaded NR films exhibited the continuous porous structure. The presence of triethyl citrate in NR films promoted wettability and surface free energy whereas the tensile strength decreased. The unique porous topography of triethyl citrate-loaded NR film exhibited the potential for applying this material as the scaffold or controlled drug delivery devices in the future.
