Association processes between polymer latex

Kinetic Study of Association Processes between Polymer Latex Particles... 

The association processes between polymer latex particles were studied. Advantage was taken of latex particles being large enough to be seen under an ultramicroscope connected to an image-processing system. 

ENR prepared from chemical modification of NR latex has recently been commercialized. ENR was claimed to have oil resistance property, low gas permeability and more anti-oxidizing and damping than NR. Up to now, many research works have studied its applications and their blends with other polymers such as in this case, the blend between ENR and neoprene (CR) of which the effect of blending ratio on processability of ENR/CR blend was studied by Chiu et al Mastication of ENR (ENR-50, Malaysian Rubber Producers Research Association), CR (ES-2-16K, Du Pont), vulcanizing agent, accelerator, and other related ingredients was carried out in a pressurized kneader (SYD-5, Star-King Enterprise Co., Taiwan) for 17 min under a rotation rate of 77 rpm. Each sample s composition was listed in Table 18.7.
