Photodegradation of raw natural rubber under controlled condition
1999
Zainul Abdin Maidunny
The photodegradation of various grades of raw rubber is studied using artificial solar energy produced from a 1 kW solar simulator. The rate of chain scission is a function of the purity of the rubber. The presence of chromophores+ accelerates the chain scission. The rubber can be efficiently degraded under solar source by the incorporation of an effective sensitiser system.
