in the UV-induced prevulcanization of high ammonia NR latex with a 60% DRC. Effects of the
following factors on the tensile strength and the cross-link density of the PVNR films were assessed in order to determine
optimal conditions for prevulcanization: the mass ratio of the photoinitiator to the coagent; the mixing time of the latex with
the chemicals (i.e., the photoinitiator and the coagent) the duration of the UV irradiation; the distance between the light
source and the surface of the latex pool being irradiated
