Abstract

Aqueous dispersions of rubber are vulcanized by exposure to a radiation dosage of between 1 and 60 megarads. The radiation may consist of fast electrons, gamma rays, or the mixed radiation from an atomic pile, and the aqueous dispersion may be natural rubber latex containing 60 to 70 per cent of rubber. In examples are described the physical properties of rubber films obtained by drying vulcanized latices prepared by placing samples of latex in a shallow aluminium trough covered with aluminium sheets and exposing them for various periods to a beam of high-energy electrons from an electron accelerator. According to the Provisional Specification oxygen is excluded from the latex during the irradiation treatment. Nitrogen or other inert gas is bubbled through the latex, and any residual bubbles removed by centrifugal action before irradiating the latex in an atmosphere of nitrogen or other inert gas.ALSO:Aqueous dispersions of rubber are vulcanized by exposure to a radiation dosage of between 1 and 60 megarads.
