Removal of Proteins from natural Rubber Latex and Gloves
Removal of proteins from natural rubber was performed by leaching and deproteinization. The leaching was carried out for commercial natural rubber glove, whereas deproteinization was for commercial high ammonia natural rubber latex (HANR) in the presence of urea, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and acetone.Weiterlesen...
Extracted Chitosan as Biosorbent for Co-60 and Cs-137 from Radioactive Waste Simulates
Chitosan, an environmentally friendly biopolymer, has been extracted from local shrimp shell wastes, and has been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) , X-ray diffraction (X-RD), thermal and electron micro-scopic analyses (SEM). The extracted chitosan was used as biosorbent for Co-60 and Cs-137 from their radioactive aqueous waste simulates.Weiterlesen...
Physical Properties of green Composite: Low grade natural Rubber/ Cassava Starch/ Palm Fiber
The green composite was made from low grade natural rubber (LNR), cassava starch (CSt) and palm fiber by using two-roll mill and compression molding. Before adding palm fiber, the elongation at break of LNR/CSt blend was improved as a function of CSt content due to plasticizer of CSt.Weiterlesen...
Preparation, Microstructure and electrical Conductivity of high Aspect Ratio Carbon Nanotubes reinforced Natural Rubber Nanocomposites
A new method of preparing carbon nanotube/Natural rubber (CNT/NR) composites with high-aspect ratio carbon nanotubes was developed. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed that the high-aspect ratio CNT was dispersed very well in the NR matrix.Weiterlesen...
Dispersion Enhancement of Petroleum-based Sulfur in Natural Rubber by the Use of TDAE oil Coating Technique
The article demonstrates that the sulfur classified as a by-product from petroleum refining process (PS) is capable of being used as a curing agent. Poor dispersion of the PS is still of high concern and, thus, attempts have been made to use a common rubber plasticizer, namely treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE) oil, as a dispersing agent.Weiterlesen...
