What is vulcanisation of rubber?
Answers
vulcanised rubber is an example of semi synthetic polymer formed by mixing molten rubber and molten sulphur under specific conditions.
hope it will help you ☺
→ Vulcanization ( also spelled as vulcaniaation ) is a process or more specifically a chemical process in which polymers are converted into a form which more durable than their initial form.
→ It is performed by creating crosslinks.
→ If we form cross links between each polymer chain, it also affects the mechanical properties of that particular element over which the vulcanization process is done.
→ It is quite often that we use the term " vulcanized fibre " by which we actually refer to a kind of cellulose that is in fact treated by a zinc chloride ( ) solution so that the cellulose fibres are crosslinked.
→ The vulcanization process in which sulphur is used to increase durability of rubber, is known as sulphur vulcanization( also spelled as sulphur vulcanisation ) or vulcanziation of rubber.
→ Sulphur volcanization is generally defined as the chemical process which involves conversion of the rubber formed naturally into a somewhat more durable matter by heating it with sulphur.
