Synthesis of Chlorinated Acrylate Ester and Incorporation Effect on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Prevulcanised Natural Rubber Latex

摘要

Chlorinated acrylate ester has been synthesised from chloroacetic acid, ethylene glycol, and acrylic acid. The yield from the reaction was incorporated into prevulcanised natural rubber latex system. The effect of the CAE on PV latex system was investigated by varying the percentage of CAE at 3%, 5%, 10% and 15% (wt/wt). The sheets of modified latex was prepared and cured. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra has proven the presence of C-Cl bond and formation of ester linkage in the CAE. The thermal property of cured samples was examined. The tensile strength decreased as the ester percentage was increased.
