    Abstract

Modified Natural Rubber Latex via in situ Polymerization of Lignin Related Compound in thePresence of Lignosulfonate Salt
Asrul, M.*#, Kawahara, S.** and Amir-Hashim M.Y.*

Modified natural rubber latex having relatively high resistance to thermo-oxidative ageing was prepared from in situ polymerization of lignin related compounds in the presence of styrene and lignosulfonate salt. High tensile strength retention of the modified rubber latex films on ageing were shown to be attainable by addition of appropriate lignin related compounds in the modification reaction. Molecular weight and gel content determination indicated that the simultaneous effect of rubber degradation as a side effect of modification was negligible in the batches comprising ferulic acid and coumaric acid. The viability of the modified rubber in the use as technological rubber latex products which requires higher resistance to oxidative ageing was assessed.
