This work is divided into two parts: The first is associated with the isolation of non-isoprenic components from the natural rubber (NR) latex from seringueira (Hevea brasiliensis) and mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) by centrifugation. In the first centrifugation the phase serum was isolated (MAT 1). The rubber phase was treated with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and isolated after the third centrifugation (MAT 2). The other materials tested in the synthetic rubber (PIS) were CENT 1, CENT 2 and the NR extract. These were kindly provided by Prof Jean Marinho from UNESP. The second part is associated with the possible antioxidant effect of the isolated latex components on the thermo-oxidative degradation of synthetic poly(1,4-cis-isoprene) carried out via infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (RMN). It was observed that, from the substances obtained from the purification of the latex and tested on synthetic PIS, both MAT 1 and CENT 1 have pro-oxidant effects. The remain can be ordered in the following sequence in regards to their antioxidant capabilities: PIS + MAT 2 > PIS + NR EXTRACT > PIS + CENT 2 The calculation of the activation energy of the thermal degradation of PIS in synthetic air containing 2.0% of MAT 2 confirms that the stabilizer effect of PIS increases with the increase of this material, as all Ea of pure polymer are inferior to that of the doped sample. The NMR spectra for MAT 2 showed, in addition to the characteristic bands of cis-1,4-polyisoprene, also bands associated with fatty acids and/or SDS. The spectra of NR extract showed bands that are characteristic of oligosaccharides and minoritary cis-1,4-polyisoprene.
