Crystallization behavior of natural rubber prepared by different procedures, such as skim rubber, deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR), and pale crepe, was investigated by dilatometry at -25 °C. DPNR was fractionated into four fractions by molecular weight. The high molecular weight fractions contain...
