Abstract
The sensitized radiation vulcanization of natural rubber latex has been carried out with 250 keV electrons. Latex was irradiated over a range of the beam current from 5 to 20 mA in the presence of sensitizers like the n-butyl acrylate (n-BA). The vulcanization dose decreases with increasing beam current condition. The rate of vulcanization (Rvul) depends on the beam current (I) as given by the equation Rvul = kI0.6. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.
