Abstract:
The main objective of the present study was to
explore ways of making latex products more cost effective
and versatile. Polyethylene glycol was identified as a
surface active agent in latex compounds which improves the
filler-polymer interaction and also distributes the filler
more uniformly. The use of such surface active agents can
develop filled latex products with improved mechanical
properties at a lower cost. In this study dispersions of carbon black and silica were successfully added to NR latex under high speed stirring without destabilizing latex.
