Geometrical isomerisation of polyisoprenes. Part 2. Factors determining the trans-alkene content of natural rubber
1991
Farley, P. S.
A series of specially prepared samples from a single latex source have been used to investigate the trans-alkene content of bale, crumb and latex grades of Malaysian natural rubber. A minimum level of trans-alkene content arises from polyisoprenoid biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis and the average degree of chain branching. Additional cis-trans isomerisation can arise from the acid-catalysed decomposition of sodium metabisulphite, a preservative for field latex, and the conditions under which wet coagula are dried.
