Abstract
The mechanical properties of filled natural rubber latex vulcanizates were found to be improved by the addition of polyethylene glycols of d ifferent molecular weight and glycerol. There is a slight reduction in the optimum cure times of the compounds containing PEG/Glycerol. The morphology study shows that the filler distribution is more uniform in the compounds containing PEG/Glycerol.
