tensile strength will also improve as there is a good interfacial adhesion between NRL and modified CPW. This shows that modified CPW has reinforcing effect when it was incorporated in latex matrix. The filler addition over 10 phr will result in decreasing value of tensile strength. This might be due to the occurrence of agglomeration in the latex films as it will be explained further in SEM
