The Thermal stability and solvent transport properties of elastomeric blends of natural rubber and exudated resin of Ailanthus Malabaricum tree were studied in detail. The elastomeric blend samples have been prepared from solution casting technique. Benzene was used as a common solvent for both the constituent polymers to prepare the blends. The resulting material exhibits excellent elastic properties. Thermogravimetry was employed to analyze the thermal stability of natural rubber by the addition of resin. The temperatures at various weight losses for different samples were determined from Thermogravimetric curves. The activation energy of degradation was calculated from Horowitz Metzger equation. The addition of natural rubber improves the thermal stability of resin. The solvent transport properties of the resulting samples were studied in benzene. The combination of natural rubber and the resin exudated from Ailanthus Malabaricum tree can be used to prepare the elastomeric material with suitable properties for specific applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
