Article Synopsis
- Natural rubber comes from the coagulation of rubber particles found in the latex of the Hevea brasiliensis tree, comprising small rubber particles (SRP) and large rubber particles (LRP) with a bimodal size distribution.
- This study investigates how these particles coagulate differently based on their size, examining their stability and behavior when placed at the air-liquid interface.
- Results show that SRP adsorb and form films faster than LRP, with distinct behaviors observed during this process, influenced by specific proteins present in the rubber particles.
