Abstract

A novel class of materials comprising an artificial polymer inside natural rubber latex particles so that the new polymer is extensively grafted to the cis-pofyisoprene can be made if the artificial polymer is of very low water solubility with the natural rubber latex (NRL) used as seed. This avoids the problem of secondary particle formation and subsequent engulfing of the resulting precursor particle into the pre-existing latex particles which gives inhomogeneities in the conventional means of making modified NRL through such seed technology.
