Influence of plantation climate and storage time on thermal and viscoelastic properties of natural rubber by Allen Jonathan Román, Jamelah Zena Travis, Juan Carlos Martínez Ávila, Tim A. Osswald

“…The unvulcanized NR was used to conduct a preliminary study, part of a long-term study, to uncover some underlying mechanisms in charge of imparting variation between NR batches, such as the collection site's rainfall conditions and storage period by using calorimetry, rheometry, and a dynamic mechanical analyzer. The ultrasound study found that an increase in monthly rainfall increased the material's elastic constant at 10 MHz, and the crystallization study uncovered that the amount of crystallization decreased with increased rain while remaining relatively constant if rainfall was within the recommended rainfall amount for the tree. …”

Synthesis and characterisation of PEGDA-based hydrogels crosslinked with pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-Mercaptopropionate) by Toh, Jia Ban.

“…Selected PEGDA-based hydrogels have been put through Instron tensile and cyclic tests, and show highly elastic behaviour. The rheometry test reaffirmed the high elastic behaviour of selected PEGDA-based hydrogels through its corresponding high storage moduli for PEGDA macromers synthesized from PEG of Mw 8000 Da and 10000 Da. …”
