Polymer and composite synthesis and structures. Formation of Graphene Matrix in Natural Rubber Dispersoid. In this study, the preparation of and characterization of a composite of natural rubber (NR) discontinuous phase (dispersoid) and graphene continuous phase (matrix) were carried out. Graphene (G) was prepared and grafted on rubber particle in latex stage in the presence of initiator tert-butylhydroperoxide and tetraethylene pentaamine with optimal amount of surfactant. The structure, the morphology, the mechanical properties, and the electromagnetic shielding of the resulting materials were superior compared to that of NR/graphene blend.
