Abstract
The natural additive especially polysaccharide is interested in polymer composite field because it can be biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxic, low cost and easy to find. In addition, it should be used to reinforce the polymer matrix and to reduce the cost of material. This work focused on the comparison of particle size of natural latex with and without polysaccharide. Besides, the particle size of natural latex composite with polysaccharide was also investigated in various concentrations of polysaccharide. The natural latex with 5 wt.% of alginate represented the biggest particle size due to the agglomeration of rubber molecule with polysaccharide. The particle size of polymer latex is an important parameter to better understand the interaction between polymer and filler in the polymer composite.
