Hypothesis
Different coagulation methods will affect the hyperelastic properties of natural rubber.
Conclusion
The study shows that the Yeoh model can effectively describe the mechanical behavior of natural rubber under various coagulation methods, with significant differences in properties observed.
Supporting Evidence
- The study found that enzyme-assisted microbial coagulation produced rubber with the best mechanical properties.
- The modified Yeoh model accurately predicts stress-strain curves across different tensile speeds.
- Natural coagulation rubber exhibited the highest modulus in small deformations.
Takeaway
This study looks at how different ways of making rubber affect its strength and flexibility, helping us choose the best method for making rubber products.
Methodology
The study used tensile experiments and the Yeoh model to analyze the mechanical properties of natural rubber from different coagulation methods.
Limitations
The Yeoh model has limitations in accurately describing mechanical behavior in the low-strain region.
