Effect of different fillers on natural rubber compounds was investigated through curing, mechanical properties and morphology studies for improving mechanical performance of rubber articles. In this work, natural rubber blends with Silica as Single-filler compounds, and blends with Silica and Carbon black as Bi-filler compounds were considered. Then, natural rubber blends with Silica, Carbon bl...

in some special cases, rubber compounds with high amounts of unsaturated elastomer are recommended with organic sulfur donors instead of mineral sulfurs. in this condition, activated sulfur is produced in situ and curingprocess is facilitated without accelerators. organic sulfur donor compounds have low thermal stability and in the vulcanization temperature produce free and activated sulfurs. t...

Near-infrared spectroscopy in diffuse reflection mode was used to evaluate the apparent viscosity of Para rubber field latex and concentrated latex over the wavelength range of 1100 to 2500 nm, using partial least square regression (PLSR). The model with ten principal components (PCs) developed using the raw spectra accurately predicted the apparent viscosity with correlation coefficient (r), ...

Abstract: Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation is a major land use practiced in Xishuangbanna of south-western China. Effects of rubber plantation (RP) and tea-rubber intercropping (TRI) systems on soil organic carbon pools were evaluated by recording changes in soil organic carbon in an age sequence of 12-, 20-, 26-, and 40-year old plantations. Labile organic carbon (LOC) increased in ...

para-veterinarians are professionals in having a liaise between veterinary doctors and livestock owners beside their ability to achieve some of the veterinarians activity such as collecting information about sick animals, using thermometer, using needles and syringes, calculating, diluting and using antiseptic, knowledge about live and inactive vaccines, oral treatment of animals, herbal medici...

Natural rubber is produced by a rubber transferase (a cis-prenyltransferase). Rubber transferase uses allylic pyrophosphate to initiate the rubber molecule and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to form the polymer. Rubber biosynthesis also requires a divalent metal cation. Understanding how molecular weight is regulated is important because high molecular weight is required for high quality rubbe...

Rubber biosynthesis takes place on the surface of rubber particles. These particles are surrounded by a monolayer membrane in which the rubber transferase is anchored. In order to gain better insight into whether rubber particles from different plant species share common structural characteristics, the micromorphology of rubber particles from Ficus carica, Ficus benghalensis, and Hevea brasilie...

The biosynthesis of rubber is thought to take place on the surface of rubber particles in laticifers, highly specialized cells that are present in more than 40 plant families. The small rubber particle protein (SRPP) has been supposed to be involved in rubber biosynthesis, and recently five SRPPs (TbSRPP1-5) were identified in the rubber-producing dandelion species Taraxacum brevicorniculatum. ...
