  • (vulcanization) process of treating rubber or rubberlike materials with sulphur at great heat to improve elasticity and strength or to harden them
  • Vulcanization or vulcanisation is a chemical process for converting rubber or related polymers into more durable materials via the addition of sulfur or other equivalent "curatives". These additives modify the polymer by forming crosslinks (bridges) between individual polymer chains. ...
