“…NR-latex was obtained from the Malaysian Rubber Board. The size of NR-latex particles is 10-100 nm [27], with 33.86 and 32.47 % of total solid content and dry rubber content, respectively (details of the measurements are provided in the supplementary material). SDS (99 %) was purchased from Systerm and was used without purification.…”

The performance of single-, double-and triple-chain anionic sulphosuccinate surfactants for dispersing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNCTs) in natural rubber latex (NR-latex) was studied using a range of techniques, including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Raman spectroscopy. The conductivities of the nanocomposites were also investigated using four-point probe measurements. Here, MWCNTs were efficiently dispersed in NR-latex with the aid of hyperbranched tri-chain sulphosuccinate anionic surfactants, specifically sodium 1,4-bis(neopentyloxy)-3-(neopentyloxycarbonyl)-1,4-dioxobutane-2-sulphonate (TC14). This paper highlights that TC14 performs much better than that of the commercially available surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), demonstrating how careful consideration of surfactant architecture leads to improved dispersibility of MWCNTs in NR-latex. The results should be of significant interest for improving nanowiring applications suitable for aerospace-based technology.

“…The latex cytosol contains most of the enzymes that are necessary for the conversion of sucrose into cis-1,4-polyisoprene. The protein content of raw latex is 10 to 15 mg/mL, about 27% of which is associated with the rubber particles [4].…”

“…The rubber particles (the elastic component sought in all NR products) in the latex are of varying sizes with diameter ranging from 50 to 400 millimicrons. Structurally, natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene in cis configuration thus containing one olefinic double bond [1][2][3][4]. Natural rubber is a flexible raw material in the sense that it possesses the ability to be easily modified by the addition of fillers, while retaining its characteristic processing ease, to yield materials suitable for various applications.…”

Titanium dioxide dispersion was sonicated as an attempt to reduce its particle sizes and thereafter used as fillers in making natural rubber (NR) composite films. Fillers of reduced particle sizes, owing to enhanced surface areas and aspect ratios, usually result in unique property improvements. The reinforcing effects of untreated and sonicated samples of the fillers were, therefore, compared through the measurement of tensile properties of the dry films. Results, however, indicated a monotonic decrease in moduli with filler content, contrary to behaviour due to conventional fillers, but showed improvement in both elongation at break and tensile strength data at low filler concentration (2phr), and thereafter a decrease in the trend. The affinity between the filler and matrix was examined using the composite theory of Einstein. Theoretical prediction of Young's moduli from this was compared against experimental data and it was found that there was certain level of interfacial interaction.
