Structural characterisation of wild rubber: gel content
1999
Marinho, Jean R. D. | Tanaka, Yasuyuki
Samples of natural rubber extracted from wild trees from the Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae families were deproteinised and transesterified to study their gel content. The formation of soluble (soft) gel depends on the period of + storage of latex in the tree. Extended storage may cause crosslinks between the polymer chains to make hard gel. The presence of soft gel and the composition of the latex varied with the botanical family.
