, 2014 The milky sap of the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis is the source of the commercial production of natural rubber latex (NRL) devices, and also represents a source of potent allergenic proteins. NRL materials were introduced in the health care field in about 1840 with the advent of technical abilities to produce suitable and flexible NRL materials for ...

The Viscosity of Latex and of Latex Mixtures
Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1937Abstract For the rubber technologist, a change in the plasticity of rubber mixtures is one of the most important indications that fundamental changes are taking place within the mixture. For example, a decrease in plasticity would lead to the conclusion that incipient vulcanization had taken place, and an increase in plasticity would ...

Latex Allergens and Latex Allergy
2002Allergy to natural rubber latex (NRL) is currently one of the most frequently encountered occupational diseases among the health care workers. Children with spina bifida and other congenital malformations with histories of multiple surgeries form the other major risk group.

Functional latex and thermoset latex films
Journal of Coatings Technology and Research, 2004We review advances in the design and development of functional latex particles that can be used to form crosslinked coatings. Our emphasis is on understanding fundamental principles, of the formation and aging of latex films, of crosslinking of polymer films, of the reaction mechanisms that lead to bond formation, and of the competition between bond ...

Comprehensive Therapy, 2002
The prevalence of IgE mediated natural latex rubber allergy is estimated to be < 1% in the general population, < 17% in medical personnel and approximately 0% in children with spina bifida. We review the definition, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of NLR allergy.

Latex-specific IgE, skin testing, and lymphocyte transformation to latex in latex allergy [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1997 This study was designed to determine the discriminative value of latex-specific IgE tests, latex skin tests, and lymphocyte transformation tests (LTTs) to latex in 38 patients with latex allergy (12 nonatopic and 26 atopic) and 44 control subjects (24 nonatopic and 20 atopic).

Latex allergy continues to be an important medical problem. In this review we re-examine the definition of latex allergy, the offending allergens, the factors that enhance sensitization, the threshold levels that sensitize and elicit reactions in sensitized individuals, current diagnostic techniques, avoidance measures, the barrier properties of ...

Recenti progressi in medicina, 1995
In 1979 the first case of contact urticaria to rubber gloves was reported in a patient with a positive skin prick test to latex. The use of articles containing rubber is widespread and this can explain the increasing frequency of allergic reactions to natural rubber latex. The symptoms may be localized like contact urticaria or systemic like angioedema,

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1930 Abstract The swelling of solid substances is a phenomenon which has been known for a long time, and extended investigations have been made on its nature. On the other hand the title of the present work may appear to be incongruous, for there has been in the past no evidence that liquids have any tendency to swell.
