Film behaviour of natural rubber latex treated with banana skin

Film behaviour of natural rubber latex treated with banana skin

Natural rubber latex (NRL) is the milky fluid obtained from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree. Proteins the naturally occurring components of NRL have been related to hypersensitivity. Therefore, study on protein in NRL films is crucial. It created one of the biggest markets for improved in the glove indu...
