Nanocrystalline cellulose is nano sized filler with high crystallinity and obtanained by hydrolysis of alpha cellulose from sugarcane bagasse. Tensile test of natural rubber latex film filled nanocrystalline cellulose and alkanolamide as compatibilizer after aging treatment have been done. Natural rubber latex films were prepared by coagulant dipping method and followed by vulcanization process at temperature 100 oC and 20 minutes. Aging treatment of natural rubber latex films have done at temperature 70 oC for 24 hours. Tensile test result of natural rubber latex filled nanocrystalline cellulose showed the tensile strength value of aged natural rubber latex film were lower than unaged one. However, tensile strength value of aged natural rubber latex film filled nanocrystalline cellulose modified alkanolamide were higher than unaged film.
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.
