Thermal degradation of both latex and latex cast films forming membranes

In situ synthesis of natural rubber latex-supported gold nanoparticles for flexible SERS substrates

“…34 Natural rubber particles were covered with a continuous monolayer of phospholipid-protein membrane, and previous studies have shown that the proteins played an important role in the stabilization of noble metal nanoparticles due to their large complexation constant for noble metalamines. 34 Natural rubber particles were covered with a continuous monolayer of phospholipid-protein membrane, and previous studies have shown that the proteins played an important role in the stabilization of noble metal nanoparticles due to their large complexation constant for noble metalamines.…”

A method based on thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry for the forensic differentiation of latex gloves

“…Around 375 8C there is the thermal decomposition of most of the organic components of the rubber matrix, i.e. poly-isoprene molecules, proteins, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids [14][15][16]. At higher temperature there is the onset of the degradation of the highly reticulated polymer molecules [15].…”

“…poly-isoprene molecules, proteins, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids [14][15][16]. At higher temperature there is the onset of the degradation of the highly reticulated polymer molecules [15]. The peak at around 700 8C is attributable to the concurrent degradation of rubber and of some inorganic additives [14,16].…”

Production and characterization of natural rubber–Ca/P blends for biomedical purposes

“…The serum phase contains different types of compounds, including carbohydrates, several proteins, amino acids and enzymes. Finally, the bottom fraction contains a high portion of monomers and metal ions [19,20].…”
