The Effect of Silver Nanoparticles/Titanium Dioxide in Poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)-Modified, Deproteinized, Natural Rubber Composites on Dye Removal.

ABSTRACT: This work aims to enhance the dye-removal performance of prepared poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)-modified, deproteinized, natural rubber ((PAA-co-PAM)-DPNR) through incorporation with silver nanoparticles/titanium dioxide. The (PAA-co-PAM)-DPNR was prepared by emulsion-graft copolymerization with a grafting efficiency of 10.20 ± 2.33 to 54.26 ± 1.55%. The composites based on (PAA-co-PAM)-DPNR comprising silver nanoparticles and titanium dioxide ((PAA-co-PAM)-DPNR/Ag-TiO₂) were then prepared by latex compounding using the fixed concentration of AgNO₃ (0.5 phr) and varying concentrations of TiO₂ at 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 phr. The formation of silver nanoparticles was obtained by heat and applied pressure. The composites had a p
