Natural rubber (NR) reinforced with high loading of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was fabricated in the presence of sodium alginate as a thickening and dispersing agent in NR latex. The tensile strength and Young's moduli of the 50% wt. MFC loading-NR composites were 13.6 and 1085.7 MPa, which were about 11.3- and 329-times enhanced compared with those of the neat NR film. The maximum elongation at 313.3% was obtained from 30% MFC loading, which was a 3.3-fold increase of that of the NR film. The thermal stability of MFC-NR films was slightly reduced, while the glass transition temperature remained unchanged at -64 °C. The MFC-NR films exhibited high water adsorption ability, toluene resistance, and biodegradability.
在天然橡胶(NR)胶乳中,以海藻酸钠作为增稠和分散剂,制备了高负载微纤化纤维素(MFC)增强的天然橡胶。50%重量比MFC负载的NR复合材料的拉伸强度和杨氏模量分别为13.6 MPa和1085.7 MPa,与纯NR薄膜相比,分别提高了约11.3倍和329倍。30% MFC负载的样品获得了313.3%的最大伸长率,是NR薄膜的3.3倍。MFC-NR薄膜的热稳定性略有降低,而玻璃化转变温度在-64°C保持不变。MFC-NR薄膜表现出高吸水性、耐甲苯性和生物降解性。
