%0 Journal Article %T PARAMETERS INTERACTION OF RADIATION VULCANIZED NATURAL RUBBER LATEX (RVNRL) SENSITIZED BY N-BUTYL ACRYLATE %A CHIRINOS %A Hugo %J Peri¨®dico Tch¨º Qu¨ªmica %D 2007 %I Grupo Tch¨º Qu¨ªmica %X Response surface methodology was utilized to conceive a mathematical relationship between the crosslinking efficiency of natural rubber latex vulcanized by gamma rays, and the process parameters (n-butyl acrylate and KOH). The radiation vulcanization of latex can be optimized at low vulcanization dose (VD) and at high concentration of n-BA. This relationship can be estimated by the following model. %K natural rubber %K radiation vulcanization %K latex %K response surface methodology %U http://www.deboni.he.com.br/revista8.pdf
