This invention provides a method of making an elastomeric article, and the method comprises dipping a mold into a first dip tank containing a compounded nitrile rubber formulation to produce an elastomeric film layer on the mold, the compounded nitrile rubber formulation comprising nitrile butadiene copolymer; a crosslinking agent; a metal oxide; a vulcanization accelerator; an antioxidant; an alkali agent; and a heat sensitizer; then drying and curing the elastomeric film layer to form the elastomeric article. The heat sensitizer may be an organopolysiloxane. Elastomeric articles prepared according to this invention may have a film thickness in a range of 0.020 mm to 0.050 mm; such films are suitable for medical examination gloves, surgical gloves, or condoms.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing reduced graphene oxide, incorporation of the reduced graphene oxide into polyisoprene latex to provide a polyisoprene latex graphene composite and elastomeric articles prepared using the polyisoprene latex-graphene composite. In particular, the reduction of graphene oxide is accomplished without the use of strong reducing agents and organic solvents and incorporation of the reduced graphene oxide into polyisoprene latex is accomplished using room temperature latex mixing method or hot maturation. The resultant composite exhibits good colloid stability and polyisoprene latex films produced from the composite exhibit good mechanical properties with improved ageing resistance.
