Abstract

The starch xanthate/natural rubber (SX/NR) composite was prepared by directly mixing and co-coagulating NR latex and the modified starch paste with carbon bisulfide. The vulcanization kinetics of NR and SX/NR composite were investigated by using a rubber process analysis (RPA). The mechanism of SX/NR composite vulcanization was similar to that of pure NR. The values t0and tdisof XS/NR composite were shorter than that of NR, and the activation energy E1for the induction period was smaller. The activation energies E2and E3for the curing period were smaller than that of NR.
