Potentials of gum arabic (Acacia senegali) and zinc oxide nanoparticles in the creaming and preservation of field natural rubber latex
The low dry rubber content (DRC) of about 30% and high non-rubber solids (NRS) contents of field natural rubber latex (FNRL) have limited its uses. It is therefore expedient to significantly increase the DRC of latex to a minimum of 60% for novel applications, hence the study. In this research work, the potentials of gum arabic (GA) (Acacia Senegalese) as a creaming agent in combination with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) as antifungal agent in FNRL medium were examined. The GA was annexed in the FNRL and evaluated to determine its characteristics. It was found to possess the following: 60.1 ± 0.1% DRC, TSC 61.1 ± 0.1%, 1.1 ± 0.1% NRS, 10.1 ± 1% pH and 113.0 ± 0.5 psc viscosity. The ZnONPs of particle size 65.19 nm made using mango (Mangifera indica) leaves extract showed 65% fungi inhibition when 1% concentration of ZnONPs was used.
期刊介绍:
"Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad.
"Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
