Hybrid polymer latex blends of natural rubber and nanoparticle-sized acrylics / Che Mohamad Som Said and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dzaraini Kamarun

Natural rubber (NR) latex is widely used in the manufacture of thin film barrier products such as gloves and condom. However, due to its low Tg, film casted from NR latex is soft and tacky, and needed to be strengthened to produce high performance products. Films of prevulcanized natural rubber late...
