Figure 8 The embodiments of the present application provide a method for predicting the quality and performance of natural rubber by using rubber particle size, which specifically comprises steps 101-106.

[0035] Step 101: Obtain fresh latex of rubber trees.

[0036] Step 102: Measure the rubber particle size value of the fresh latex.

[0037] Step 103: selecting a target quality performance item from the candidate quality performance items according to the first selection operation of the user.

[0038] Step 104: determining one or more target prediction models from the prediction models corresponding to the quality performance items according to the selected target quality performance item.

[0039] Step 105: inputting the rubber particle size value into each target prediction model to obtain a predicted value output by the target prediction model.

[0040] Step 106: determining a target quality performance parameter value according to the predicted value output by each target prediction model.

[0041] The target quality performance parameter predicted value indicates the quality or performance of the natural rubber.

[0042] Optionally, the above step 101 can include sampling the fresh latex of the rubber tree, and placing the sample in an ice bath and a refrigerator to bring back to the laboratory.

[0043] Optionally, step 102 can include collecting the fresh latex of the rubber tree, and measuring the rubber particle size in the latex by using a particle size analyzer.

[0044] Optionally, the above pre-constructed prediction model can adopt various forms or structures. For example, the above pre-constructed prediction model can be expressed in the form of a regression equation, or can be trained by using a neural network as a basic model.

[0045] In some embodiments, the candidate quality performance items include one or more of the following: rubber weight average molecular weight, rubber viscosity average molecular weight, plastic initial value, acetone solubles, tensile strength, 500% modulus, and tear strength of vulcanized rubber.

[0046] As an example, candidate quality performance items can be displayed, and the user can select a target quality performance item from the candidate quality performance items. The target quality performance item can be an item used to determine a target quality performance parameter value.

[0047] In this embodiment, a prediction model can be pre-constructed for each quality performance item. For example, for the rubber weight average molecular weight, a prediction model is constructed, the input of which is the rubber particle size, and the output is the predicted weight average molecular weight.

[0048] The user can select one or more prediction models to participate in prediction.

[0049] As an example, the user can select three prediction models to participate in the prediction. The three models output prediction values respectively, i.e. three prediction values (e.g. rubber average molecular weight, plasticity initial value, acetone solubles) are obtained. According to the three prediction values, the target quality performance parameter value can be generated, for example, the three prediction values can be weighted and averaged to obtain the target quality performance parameter value.

[0050] Therefore, the method of the present application not only does not require various special equipment and instruments, solves the problems of high cost, long cycle, quality fluctuation between batches and the need for professional technical personnel to support in conventional testing, and can obtain the quality and performance indicators of natural rubber simply, quickly and economically and effectively after tapping; moreover, the specific quality performance items that need to be predicted can be flexibly selected, and the target quality performance parameter value is determined according to the selected quality performance items, so as to more accurately represent the quality and performance of natural rubber and improve the accuracy of prediction.

[0051] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: setting a plurality of quality performance items; determining the plurality of quality performance items from the test latex sample; determining the rubber particle size value of the latex from the same batch of test latex sample; constructing a regression equation of the rubber particle size value and the quality performance item for the rubber particle size value; evaluating each regression equation, and determining the candidate quality performance item according to the evaluation result of the regression equation.

[0052] As an example, evaluating the regression equation means a series of checks on the regression equation to see if the regression equation is suitable for the data and if the model assumption is correct. By checking the residual plot, normality test, homoscedasticity test, etc., it is determined whether the model has problems such as bias, heteroscedasticity, nonlinearity, etc. If problems are found in the inspection, the model may need to be adjusted or the data may need to be transformed. Therefore, the prediction ability and goodness of fit of the model can be measured by statistical indicators.

[0053] The evaluation indicators include R 2 (determination coefficient, indicating the proportion of variation explained by the model), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), accuracy, recall rate, etc.

[0054] Therefore, from a plurality of quality performance of natural rubber, the quality performance parameter that has a greater correlation with the quality of natural rubber and has a greater impact can be determined, and a prediction model between the quality performance parameter and the rubber particle size is constructed, thereby improving the rationality and accuracy of the prediction model.

[0055] In some embodiments, the generating the target quality performance parameter value according to the predicted values output by the respective target prediction model comprises: obtaining a preset weight corresponding to the target quality performance item; determining a weight corresponding to the predicted value output by each prediction model according to the weight corresponding to the target quality performance item; and determining the target quality performance parameter value based on the respective predicted value and the corresponding weight.

[0056] Thus, the weighting of various quality performance parameter items can be realized, an accurate target quality performance parameter value can be determined, and data accuracy can be improved.

[0057] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the rubber weight average molecular weight is Y=2614561-824703x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the rubber weight average molecular weight.

[0058] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the rubber viscosity average molecular weight is Y=2132640-702682x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the rubber viscosity average molecular weight.

[0059] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the plasticity initial value is Y=54.106-17.151x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the plasticity initial value.

[0060] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the acetone soluble is Y=1.4921+1.6494x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the acetone soluble.

[0061] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the tensile strength is Y=30.77-13.03x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the tensile strength.

[0062] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the 500% modulus is Y=4.2981-1.5602x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the 500% modulus.

[0063] In some embodiments, the regression equation of the rubber particle size and the tear strength of the vulcanized rubber is Y=32.356-6.829x, where x represents the rubber particle size and Y represents the tear strength of the vulcanized rubber.

[0064] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: collecting latex samples of rubber trees; determining the rubber particle size of a first group of latex samples; determining the quality performance items of rubber prepared from a second group of latex samples as the determination of the quality performance parameter value; and constructing a prediction model corresponding to the quality performance item for the determination of the rubber particle size and the determination of the quality performance parameter value.

[0065] In some embodiments, the method for determining the rubber particle size of the first group of latex samples comprises: taking 10-15 μL of each latex sample into a test tube containing 100 mmol / L Tris-HCl buffer; taking 100-150 μL of the latex with buffer from the test tube; using a laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer to determine the average volume particle size of the rubber particles.

[0066] In some embodiments, the method for determining the quality and performance of the rubber prepared from the second group of latex samples as the quality and performance parameter values comprises: coagulating fresh latex in a container with acid and placing it for 24 hours; using a crepe machine to press the sample into a sheet, drying it, and then drying it in an oven at 70°C for 24 hours to obtain a raw rubber sample; using a gel permeation chromatograph to determine the weight average molecular weight and viscosity average molecular weight of the rubber; using a rapid plastometer to determine the initial plasticity; using a thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method to determine the raw rubber ketone solubles; using a tensile testing machine to determine the tensile strength and 500% modulus of the vulcanized rubber; and using a tear test method to determine the tear strength of the vulcanized rubber.

[0067] As an example, the model construction step includes:

[0068] First step, the method for determining the rubber particle size of the fresh rubber latex of rubber trees. First, the fresh rubber latex of rubber trees is sampled and placed in an ice bath and a refrigerator for transportation to the laboratory. 10-15 μL of each latex sample is taken into a test tube containing 100 mmol / L Tris-HCl buffer. Then, 100-150 μL of the latex with buffer is taken from the test tube, and a laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer is used to determine the average volume particle size of the rubber particles.

[0069] Second step, in the same batch of samples as in the first step, fresh latex is coagulated in a container with acid and placed for about 24 hours. A crepe machine is used to press the sample into a sheet, which is dried and then dried in an oven at 70°C for about 24 hours to obtain a raw rubber sample. A gel permeation chromatograph (GPC) is used to determine the weight average molecular weight and viscosity average molecular weight of the rubber. A rapid plastometer is used to determine the initial plasticity. A thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method is used to determine the raw rubber ketone solubles. A tensile testing machine is used to determine the tensile strength and 500% modulus of the vulcanized rubber. A tear test method is used to determine the tear strength of the vulcanized rubber.

[0070] Third step, using R 4.5.0 software to construct a regression equation for the rubber particle size and the quality and performance indicators of the rubber, such as the weight average molecular weight, the viscosity average molecular weight, the initial plasticity, the ketone solubles, the tensile strength, the 500% modulus, and the tear strength, to carry out model prediction.

[0071] As an example, lm function can be used for analysis, confint function for calculating confidence interval, performance package for model diagnosis, statistical values based on the prediction model for evaluating model performance, and prediction model function establishment.

[0072] lm is the abbreviation of Linear Model, which is a function in R language for fitting linear regression models; function: estimate the parameters of linear models by least squares method, used to analyze the linear relationship between dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

[0073] confint is the abbreviation of "confidence interval", which is the confidence interval; function: used to calculate the confidence interval of model parameters. The confidence interval represents the range in which the true value of the model parameter may be within a certain confidence level (such as 95%).

[0074] performance is a R language package, which is used for model diagnosis and performance evaluation; function: provides a series of functions to evaluate the goodness of fit, accuracy and reliability of statistical models. For example, it can calculate the R 2 value (determination coefficient), AIC (Akaike information criterion), BIC (Bayesian information criterion) and other statistical indicators of the model, and check whether the assumptions of the model are met (such as normality, homoscedasticity, etc.).

[0075] The method provided by the present application does not require a variety of special equipment and instruments, and solves the problems of high cost, long cycle, quality fluctuation between batches and the need for professional technical personnel to support the conventional test of natural rubber quality and performance; the present application can obtain the quality and performance indicators of natural rubber from the fresh latex of rubber trees after tapping, which is simple, fast, economical and effective.

[0076] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: inputting the rubber particle size measurement value of the first group of samples into the constructed prediction model to obtain the to-be-evaluated prediction value; performing T test on the to-be-evaluated prediction value and the measured quality performance parameter value of the second group of samples; and judging the significant difference between the to-be-evaluated prediction value and the measured quality performance parameter value according to the T test result.

[0077] T test is a statistical hypothesis testing method used to compare whether the means of two groups of data have significant differences.

[0078] As an example, input the measured values and predicted values as two sets of data, respectively; use the correlation function (such as ggboxplot or ggbarplot) in the ggpubr package to draw a graph, and automatically add the results of the T-test (such as the significance mark) on the graph; according to the p-value of the T-test, judge whether there is a significant difference between the means of the two sets of data (usually, a p-value less than 0.05 indicates a significant difference).

[0079] In this way, the accuracy of the model prediction can be verified.

[0080] Test Example 1

[0081] In 2024, samples were taken from a rubber plantation test site in a certain test farm, and the method of the present application was used to predict the quality and performance indicators of natural rubber.

[0082] The method of predicting the quality and performance indicators of natural rubber using fresh latex rubber particle size is carried out according to the following steps:

[0083] I. Collect fresh latex from rubber trees and measure the particle size of the rubber particles;

[0084] II. According to the following prediction model function, the prediction of the quality and performance indicators of natural rubber is completed, that is:

[0085] 1. The regression equation of particle size and rubber weight average molecular weight is:

[0086] Y = 2614561 - 824703x (p = 0.006512 < 0.001)

[0087] 2. The regression equation of particle size and rubber viscosity average molecular weight is:

[0088] Y = 2132640 - 702682x (p = 0.01125 < 0.05)

[0089] 3. The regression equation of particle size and plastic initial value is:

[0090] Y = 54.106 - 17.151x (p = 0.004251 < 0.01)

[0091] 4. The regression equation of particle size and acetone solubles is:

[0092] Y = 1.4921 + 1.6494x (p = 0.003024 < 0.01)

[0093] 5. The regression equation of particle size and tensile strength is:

[0094] Y = 30.77 - 13.03x (p = 6.686e-06 < 0.001)

[0095] 6. The regression equation between particle size and 500% constant tensile stress is:

[0096] Y=4.2981-1.5602x(p=3.346e-05<0.001)

[0097] 7. The regression equation for particle size and tear strength is:

[0098] Y=32.356-6.829x(p=0.003377<0.01)

[0099] The method for determining the particle size of rubber particles in rubber tree latex in step one of this embodiment is as follows: First, fresh latex samples are taken from rubber trees and brought back to the laboratory in an ice bath and refrigerator. 10-15 μL of each latex sample is added to a test tube containing 100 mmol / L Tris-HCl buffer. Then, 100-150 μL of latex with buffer is drawn from the test tube and measured using a laser scattering particle size analyzer with a quantitative standard. Finally, the average volumetric particle size of the rubber particles is calculated.

[0100] The method for establishing the prediction model function in step two above:

[0101] 1. In step one of the batches of samples, fresh latex was coagulated with acid in a container and left for about 24 hours. It was then pressed into sheets using a crepe machine, air-dried, and finally dried in an oven at 70°C for about 24 hours to obtain raw rubber samples. The weight-average molecular weight and viscosity-average molecular weight of the rubber were determined using gel permeation chromatography. The initial plasticity value was determined using a rapid plasticity tester. The acetone-soluble content of the raw rubber was determined using thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The tensile strength and 500% elongation stress of the vulcanized rubber were determined using a tensile testing machine. The tear strength of the vulcanized rubber was determined using a tear test.

[0102] 2. Using R4.5.0 software, regression equations were constructed for quality and performance indicators such as rubber particle size, rubber weight-average molecular weight, rubber viscosity-average molecular weight, initial plasticity, acetone solubility, tensile strength, 500% tensile stress, and tear strength, and model prediction was carried out.
