Micrographs of the rubber particles embedding in polystyrene, prepared by using a phase transfer/ bulk polymerization process, revealed the destruction of membrane layer surrounded the DPNR particles crosslinked by γ-ray (DP-RVNR).Mahidol UniversityChemistryMaterials SciencePhysics and AstronomyNew evidence of the surface morphology of deproteinized natural rubber particlesArticleSCOPUS10.1007/s002890050407
