Effect Of Rice Husk Powder On Properties Of Natural Rubber Latex Foam

Rice husk powder (RHP), an agricultural by-product incorporated into natural rubber latex (NRL) compound and foamed to produce natural rubber latex foam (NRLF) via the Dunlop method in this work. The tensile, mechanical, thermal resistance, micro structural characterization and degradation studies o...
