Low molecular weight fractions of polyisoprene extracted from Ficus elastica Herb. ex Hornem. were studied by C-13-NMR. The identification of 2-3 trans terminal units at the end of the polymer chain needed the acquisition of more than 17 000 transients. (C) 2000 Elsevier B.V. Ltd. All rights reserved.

Due to the increasing search for alternative sources of natural rubber (NR) whose properties are similar to Hevea brasiliesis, several sources have been studied in the past few years. Among them, Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes), which is native to Amazon rainforest and other regions of Brazil, has a potential as another viable rubber source. As a continuation of a series of comparative studies between Hancornia and Hevea (clone RRIM 600) these two species by our research team, their thermal behavior was analyzed by thermogravimetry (TG) using Flynn-Wall-Ozawa's approach in order to obtain kinetic parameters (reaction order, pre-exponential factor and activation energy) of the decomposition process. Results indicated that the thermal behavior of NR from Hancornia was comparable to Hevea with some differences observed as follows: reaction order for Hancornia was higher than for Hevea at the beginning of degradation and very close for temperatures over 350 A degrees C; activation energy and pre-exponential factor had the same trend, i.e., increased with increasing degree of conversion remaining almost constant between 20 and 70% and then increasing for higher degrees, although Hevea was slightly more thermally stable than Hancornia. These major influences in the degradation process in the early stage are attributed to differences in non-rubber constituents present in these two species.

Lorryia formosa Cooreman has been collected on many different host plants around the world. The biological cycle of this species was studied at 28 degrees C with mites collected from a rubber tree crop. The life table was constructed based on sixty individuals. The average lifetime was 37.43 +/- 20.23 (SE) days, and the r(m) was 0.08. The sex ratio was totally female biased, and unfertilized eggs developed into females. This is the first record of thelytoky in Tydeoidea proved by rearing.

Seasonality of pathogenic fungi in mites of rubber tree plantations adjacent to fragments of Cerrado
Resumo:
Fungos são os patógenos mais freqüentemente observados em populações de ácaros, auxiliando o controle destes em diferentes culturas. Vinte e cinco amostras de folhas foram coletadas de cultivos de seringueiras vizinhas a dois fragmentos de vegetação de Cerrado. em cada seringal, 25 plantas foram selecionadas para coletas e sete folhas ao redor da copa foram coletadas até a altura de sete a oito metros do solo. Aproximadamente 250 indivíduos de Calacarus heveae Feres, Phyllocoptruta seringueirae Feres e Tenuipalpus heveae Baker, coletados aleatoriamente, foram montados. Hirsutella thompsonii Fisher foi observado nas três espécies de ácaros e T. heveae foi a espécie mais infectada. Os maiores níveis de infecção ocorreram de novembro a fevereiro (estação chuvosa). Na estação seca, os níveis de infecção ficaram abaixo dos 5%. H. thompsonii tem potencial para ser usado como micoacaricida na estação chuvosa.

This work describes the preparation and characterization of composite materials obtained by the combination of natural rubber (NR) and carbon black (CB) in different percentages, aiming to improve their mechanical properties, processability, and electrical conductivity, aiming future applications as transducer in pressure sensors. The composites NR/CB were characterized through optical microscopy (OM), DC conductivity, thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA), thermogravimetry (TGA), and stress-strain test. The electrical conductivity varied between 10(-9) and 10 S m(-1), depending on the percentage of CB in the composite. Furthermore, a linear (and reversible) dependence of the conductivity on the applied pressure between 0 and 1.6 MPa was observed for the sample with containing 80 wt % of NR and 20% of CB.
