  • Which vulcanization system is most commonly used for synthetic rubber?
  • Even 170 years after the invention by Charles Goodyear (1800–1860) and Thomas Hancock (1786–1865), sulfur vulcanization is still by far the most widely used for natural and many synthetic rubbers. Of the other vulcanization systems, peroxides are most common. Consequently, this chapter will primarily deal with sulfur and peroxide vulcanization.
  • How does EPDM vulcanize?
  • EPDM requires more sulfur than what the stoichiometry of the few available double bonds dictates to obtain a proper degree of vulcanization; a mix of accelerators is added in amounts reaching the limits of solubility in such rubber. Adding even more causes “blooming,” the appearance of a white powder on the surface of the vulcanizate.
  • Why is vulcanized rubber a good material?
  • The vulcanization of rubber makes it stronger and more long-lasting, making it perfect for products that need to resist wear and tear. Another advantage is its heat resistance. Vulcanized rubber can handle high temperatures without losing its shape, which is ideal for automotive parts like tires and engine components.
  • Can TMTD react with vulcanized natural rubber?
  • A self-healing vulcanized natural rubber was successfully prepared in the present work using TMTD as an accelerator and a sulfur donor. TMTD can react with rubber molecules to generate disulfide and polysulfide between rubber molecules.
