Epoxidized natural rubber-bonded para rubber wood particleboard
Para rubber wood particleboard (PB) was prepared using NR based adhesives and hot pressing processes. Two types of NR based adhesives were used; epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and unmodified NR. The ENR latex was prepared using in situ performic epoxidation. Molecular weight of the ENR molecules was then reduced by incorporating of a reducing agent; sodium nitrite solution. A chain scission reaction and epoxidation simultaneous occurred via a chain-scission parallel epoxidation mechanism. Sulphur and multifunctional amine (i.e., hexamethoxymethylmelamine) curing systems were used to cure the adhesives. It was found that the hexamethoxymethylmelamine gave the PB with higher tensile strength than that of the sulphur vulcanization system. Furthermore, the tensile strength increased with increasing concentration of citric acid in the compounding formulation. Adhesion of the ENR adhesive with Parawood sawdust was observed to imporve by reducing molecular weight of the ENR molecules. That is, the highest tensile strength of the PB was observed for the ENR adhesive with the lowest anti Mn (i.e., 1.10 x 105). This may be attributed to the adhesive with lower molecular weight exhibited greater ability to wet or cover the wood particle surfaces. As a consequence, greater chemical interaction between the adhesive and the wood particles was observed.
