Functional clay as a reinforcing agent for nitrile latex film

The purpose of the new work is to assess the effects of clay-containing preservatives on the performance of acrylic butylene rubber (NBR) latex film.
to prepare a latex film with new properties by mixing it with latex. Mixing different proportions of natural sodium montesite (CastiG) and CastiG modified with chlorinated hexaline into the latex substrate
the
. SAXS and XRD tests were performed to assess clay/polymer interactions and, in all cases, to determine the embedding of polymer chains within clay layer structures, which improved the properties of nanocomposic materials.
the extrusion strength
as the proportion of clay increases, an increase in the elongate strength is observed, except for samples containing 5phr of both types of clay. Similarly, the mod at 100% elongation increases as clay hardens the NBR substitum. This effect also occurs with the increase in the maximum and minimum torque of the fluidization test, resulting in a higher crosslink density when CPA clay is added. With regard to dynamic reactions, the presence of clay causes a significant decrease in the vulcanization time of nanocomposates relative to non-reinforced substates. The reinforced membrane also exhibits a decrease in water vapor permeability (WVP), as the presence of clay increases the tortuousness of the molecular diffusion path.
the antibacterial capacity of the NBR film
finally, the antimicrobial ability of the NBR membrane was evaluated for two types of bacteria and fungi. In general, enhanced NBR is more resistant to E. coli, and when exposed to fungi, NBR's intrinsic antibacterial ability does not change.
