Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating natural rubber composition with Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy: A rapid and non-destructive method to determine both protein and lipid contents simultaneously

TL;DR: In this paper, a large panel of Natural Rubber (NR) samples was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of melt processing conditions on poly(lactic acid) degradation: Molar mass distribution and crystallization

TL;DR: The degradation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) during thermal-mechanical processing was studied and the influence of processing conditions on degradation rate was determined by size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid compositions of latex and sheet rubber from Hevea brasiliensis depend on clonal origin

TL;DR: In this paper, the lipid composition of fresh latex from three Hevea brasiliensis clones (RRIM600, BPM24, and PB235) was extracted by an optimized method and characterized through various chromatography techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micro‐organisms in latex and natural rubber coagula of Hevea brasiliensis and their impact on rubber composition, structure and properties

TL;DR: This review synthesizes the current knowledge on microbial populations in latex and natural rubber coagula of H. brasiliensis and the changes they induce on the biochemistry and technical properties of natural rubber during maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of chain branching in natural rubber using size-exclusion chromatography coupled with a multi-angle light scattering detector (SEC-MALS)

TL;DR: In this article, an online multi-angle light scattering detector (SEC-MALS) was used for branching characterisation of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) in natural rubber.
