Morphology and properties of blends of natural rubber and epoxidised natural rubber
thesis
posted on 2018-03-26, 13:38 authored by Haidzir Abdul RahmanThe degree of compatibility of two component blends
have been examined by many experimental techniques. The
criterion is important as it influences the morphology
and the mechanical properties of the blends.
The blends employed are NR/ENR-48 and ENR-26/ENR-48
over a range of compositions and a 50:50 latex blend of
ENR-31/ENR-43. Mixing of rubbers and crosslinking agent
(dicumyl peroxide) was done on a small two-roll mill. A
simple vulcanizate system is used in order to simplify
interpretation of the morphological structure. [Continues.]
