Question

Explain Vulcanization of Rubber.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vulcanization of rubber is a process of improvement of the rubber elasticity and strength by heating it in the presence of sulfur, which results in three-dimensional cross-linking of the chain rubber molecules (polyisoprene) bonded to each other by sulfur atoms.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The process in which natural rubber which is strong and tough is converted into elastic one is called vulcanization of rubber .

It occurs by heating natural rubber with 3-5% sulphur at 100 - 500 °C.
