, Niigata 940-2188, Japan 10.3762/bjnano.15.16 Abstract Modification of graphene oxide (GO) by vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) was investigated to study the effect of silanized GO on radical graft copolymerization of GO onto deproteinized naturalrubber (DPNR). The modified GO, GO-VTES (a and b), was
stress at small strains and higher storage modulus than DPNR/GO.
Keywords: graft copolymerization; graphene oxide; naturalrubber; vinyltriethoxysilane; Introduction
The graft copolymerization of naturalrubber (NR) has gained significant interest for an extended period. This interest derives from the
desire to enhance the green strength of NR to achieve the comparable mechanical properties of vulcanized naturalrubber (VNR) [1][2][3]. VNR is commonly utilized for NR commercial products. However, due to its crosslinked structure, VNR products cannot be recycled or degraded after diposal [4][5

sizes of produced NPs ranged from 1 to 10 nm with an average size of 6 nm [47].
Other reagents
Guidelli et al. studied the production of Ag NPs from AgNO3 solution using naturalrubber latex (NRL) extracted from Hevea brasiliensis at 100 °C for 60 min. Their spherical NPs ranged from 2 to 100 nm
