Abstract
Three methods were used to compare the effect of ageing on some commercial natural rubber gloves. Tensile testing and oxygen absorption measurements were carried out on the gloves and a network visualisation technique using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was utilised to study rubber microstructure. The ageing resistance of natural rubber gloves was shown to be affected by the nature of surface treatment or modification employed. Gloves that had been chlorinated were found to be lose tensile strength on ageing to a greater degree than the other polymer-coated gloves investigated. The TEM images revealed that the reduction in tensile properties was accompanied by some visible changes in the rubber network structure. However in this work the oxygen absorption of the gloves was shown not to correlate with ageing resistance.
