Role of fatty acids in autoxidation of deproteinised natural rubber
Material type:
TextPublication details: Journal of Natural Rubber Research 1991Description: 75-86Subject(s): Summary: The effects of stearic, oleic and linoleic acids and their methyl esters on the autoxidation of deproteinised natural rubber (DPNR) have been investigated. The carboxyl group of the free acids was found to be of primaary importance in increaing the rate of oxidation and enhancing chain scission. Oleic and linoleic acids exhibited synergistic pro-oxidant activity as a result of their co-oxidation. Chain breaking antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) helped protect polyisoprene from fatty acid promoted autoxidation.
