Alginate as Dispersing Agent for Compounding Natural Rubber with High Loading Microfibrillated Cellulose
Natural rubber (NR) reinforced with high loading of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was fabricated in the presence of sodium alginate as a thickening and dispersing agent in NR latex. The tensile strength and Young’s moduli of the 50% wt. MFC loading-NR composites were 13.6 and 1085.7 MPa, which we...
