Vulcanization or vulcanisation is a chemical process for converting polymers into more durable materials by introducing crosslinks. A well known example is sulfur vulcanization whereby organic polymers are crosslinked with chains of sulfur.[1] By forming cross-links (bridges) between individual polymer chains, vulcanization dramatically affects the mechanical properties of a polymer.[2][3] The term vulcanized fiber refers to cellulose that has been treated in a zinc chloride solution to cross-link the cellulose fibers.
