Natural rubber latex foam production using air microbubbles: Microstructure and physical properties

Natural rubber latex foams (NRLFs) are manufactured by Dunlop and Talalay processes. Although, Talalay process offers the foams with better flexibility and physical properties than the Dunlop does, Dunlop process is mainly used in Thailand because of low production cost. In this study, NRLFs with spherical cell-shape and exceptional interconnective foam network were simply fabricated using an alternative process called Bubbling technique,...
