Question

what is vulcanisation of rubber??

Answer 1

Vulcanized rubber is a natural elastomer that has been made more durable by a biochemical process that cures the rubber. During vulcanization, the milky latex from a rubber tree is combined with a curing ingredient — usually sulfur — and heated under pressure. This process, which was discovered by an American inventor named Charles Goodyear in 1839, made the rubber more stable, tougher and more resistant to heat, which made it more useful for industrial purposes and ideal for certain products. Its name comes from Vulcan, the Roman god of smiths........

Answer 2

→ 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 ).

→ 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.
