Abstract
The application of gamma-ray attenuation techniques to characterise natural rubber rubber compounds and latex has yet to be fully exploited. The mass attenuation coefficients of natural rubber and its non-rubber constituents have been calculated for energies of 0.1 keV to 1 MeV. The dependence of g-ray attenuation on photon energy and the type of photon interactions has led to the development of multi-component and multi-interaction systems for the g-ray attenuation study in natural rubber. The multi-interaction system has been employed to determine the effective atomic numbers of natural rubber and some rubber compounds and the results are compared with the calculations. Dry rubber content (DRC) of latex at various concentrations has been measured using the multi-component system and the results show a good correlation between the attenuation method and the Standard Laboratory Method.
