Latex was irradiated over a range of the beam current from 5 to 20 mA in the presence of sensitizers like the n-butyl acrylate (n-BA). The vulcanization dose decreases with increasing beam current condition. The rate of vulcanization (Rvul) depends on the beam current (I) as given by the equation Rvul = kI0.6.256-259openAccessnatural rubberlatexsensitizersvulcanizationlow dose irradiationelectron beam machiningradiation effectsArtigo de periódico208Section B10.1016/S0168-583X(03)01114-5https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1737-3191
