The non-rubber components, i.e., proteins and lipids/phospholipids, in the CNR were confrmed to be the important components which participate in the gel formation and infuence the physical properties of NR. The removal of proteins in the DPNR and WSNR affected the reduction of gel content. The decomposition of branching by SPNR was effective to remove … Continue reading Impact of non-rubber components on the branching structure and the accelerated storage hardening in Hevea rubber
