Abstract :
Membranes of latex extracted from five clones of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss) Muell.-Arg.) improved by selection and statistics methods have been prepared by air drying a 10% suspension in ammonia solution. TG–DTG and DSC, were used to characterize the membranes. The results obtained show no differences among latex from different clones.
