The vulcanization time varied with temperature: 15 min at room temperature, 10-15 min at 70℃, 10-15 min at 80℃, 30 min at 90℃, and 70 min at 105℃.

[0052] Test on the resistance to thermo-oxidative aging of latex gloves:

[0053] The antioxidant properties of latex gloves are of paramount importance, directly determining their reliability and lifespan as critical protective equipment. Both the abundant unsaturated double bonds in the molecular chains of natural rubber and the specific chemical groups in synthetic rubbers (such as nitrile and neoprene) are highly sensitive to environmental factors like oxygen and ozone. Irreversible damage to the molecular structure of latex gloves, leading to chain breakage or excessive cross-linking, causes them to rapidly lose their original flexibility and elasticity, resulting in surface embrittlement, stickiness, or cracking. This degradation of physical properties significantly shortens the effective service life of gloves and increases production costs. Adding antioxidants to latex gloves can prevent their thermal and oxidative decomposition during processing and storage. Accelerated thermal and oxidative aging tests can be used to evaluate the thermal and oxidative aging resistance of latex gloves and to assess the antioxidant efficacy of antioxidants.

[0054] To evaluate the thermo-oxidative aging resistance of the antioxidants prepared in Example 1 of this invention and antioxidant MB to latex gloves, the accelerated thermo-oxidative aging test was conducted according to GB / T 3512-2014, with an aging temperature of 100±1℃ and an aging time of 48 hours. After 48 hours of aging, the tensile strength retention rate and elongation at break retention rate of the blank sample, the latex gloves with the antioxidants prepared in Example 1 of this invention, and the latex gloves with antioxidant MB were tested respectively. The tensile properties were determined according to GB / T528-2009, with a tensile rate of 500 mm / min.

[0055] Table 3. Test results of mechanical properties of latex gloves

[0056]

[0057] As shown in Table 3, the tensile strength of the latex gloves without antioxidants is 20.7 MPa. The highest tensile strength (29.1 MPa) is achieved when the antioxidant prepared in Example 1 of this invention is added. When antioxidant MB-A is added, the tensile strength is 25.8 MPa. This indicates that the antioxidant prepared in Example 1 of this invention exhibits superior tensile properties for bio-based latex gloves compared to antioxidant MB-A. Furthermore, the addition of antioxidants resulted in different changes in the elongation at break, 100% modulus of elasticity, and 300% modulus of elasticity. The table shows that the antioxidant prepared in Example 1 of this invention exhibits superior mechanical properties for bio-based latex gloves compared to antioxidant MB-A.

[0058] Table 4 Results of thermo-oxidative aging performance test

[0059]

[0060] As shown in Table 4, compared with bio-based latex gloves without added antioxidants, the latex gloves with added antioxidants prepared in Example 1 of this invention or antioxidant MB-A have significantly higher tensile strength retention and elongation at break retention rates. This indicates that both the antioxidants prepared in Example 1 of this invention and antioxidant MB-A can effectively inhibit the thermo-oxidative aging of bio-based latex gloves. After aging for 48 hours, the bio-based latex gloves with added antioxidants prepared in Example 1 of this invention have higher tensile strength retention and elongation at break retention rates than the latex gloves with added antioxidant MB-A. This indicates that the antioxidants prepared in Example 1 of this invention have better thermo-oxidative aging resistance than antioxidant MB-A without sorbic acid grafting.

[0061] The reactive antioxidants prepared in Examples 2-9, when applied to latex gloves, exhibited similar tensile strength retention and elongation at break retention as the reactive antioxidants prepared in Example 1 in latex gloves.

[0062] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a method for preparing a reactive antioxidant based on a small molecule antioxidant containing a mercaptobenzimidazole group, comprising the following steps: in the presence of a catalyst, a Michael addition reaction is carried out between a mercaptobenzimidazole-containing antioxidant and a bio-based monomer containing double bonds and carboxyl groups to obtain an intermediate compound; in the presence of a condensing agent and an activator, the intermediate compound is reacted with cellulose via esterification to obtain a reactive antioxidant based on a small molecule antioxidant containing a mercaptobenzimidazole group. This method uses a bio-based monomer containing double bonds and carboxyl groups and cellulose chemically grafted with a small molecule mercaptobenzimidazole-containing antioxidant to construct a molecular structure that combines high molecular weight characteristics with multiple antioxidant functions. Using the bio-based monomer containing double bonds and carboxyl groups as a bridging agent, the small molecule antioxidant is bonded to the rubber molecular chain, fundamentally solving the problems of migration, volatilization, and environmental compatibility of small molecule antioxidants, while simultaneously improving antioxidant efficiency and material durability, and extending the service life of latex gloves. The experimental results show that the tensile strength of the latex gloves is 29.1 MPa, the elongation at break is 589%, the 100% modulus at constant elongation is 2.3%, and the 300% modulus at constant elongation is 6.1%.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
