Materials and Methods • natural rubber (NR) latex – 62 wt.% of dry matter • (The Rubber Research Institute of India) • spin probe: 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl EXPERIMENTAL • natural rubber latex containing 62 wt.% of dry matter was irradiated with different total irradiation doses of 200 kGy and 300 kGy • irradiated NR latex was deluted by ammonia solution (0.6 wt.%) up to 25 wt.% of solid content • ~1mm thick NR films were prepared by removing the liquid phase at room temperature • spin probe was incorporated in NR samples by swelling the samples in the probe solution at 4 °C, 16 °C, 24 °C and 37 °C. The solvent was toluene. • solvent was slowly removed by evaporation; all samples were then annealed at 60 °C for 72 hours • ESR spectra were recorded on Varian E-109 ESR spectrometer equipped with Bruker ER 041 XG microwave bridge and Bruker ER 4111 VT variable temperature unit Figure 2. ESR spectra of spin probe diffusing in nonirradiated NR measured at -10 °C. The probe incorporation temperatures were: (a) 4 °C, (b) 24 °C and (c) 37 °C. Figure 3. ESR spectra of spin probe diffusing in NR irradiated with 200 kGy measured at 0 °C. The probe incorporation temperatures were: (a) 16 °C and (b) 24 °C. Table 1.
