Tensile and structural properties of natural rubber vulcanizates with different mastication times [PDF]
Polímeros, 2021 Mastication reduced the molecular weight of natural rubber (NR). This would affect the tensile properties and strain-induced crystallization of the rubber vulcanizates due to the structural changes of the rubber molecules.
