  • When was sulfur vulcanization invented?
  • In 1839, the process of sulfur vulcanization of rubbers was invented by Charles Goodyear and as a result of his discovery the rubber industry was explosively developed to this day [1–3]. Although the sulfur vulcanization of rubbers has been widely applied in industry, there are many disadvantages for the traditional vulcanization method.
  • What is accelerated sulfur vulcanization?
  • The accelerated- sulfur vulcanization of these rubbers along with the vulcanization of other rubbers, which are vulcanized by closely related technology, comprises more than 90% of all vulcanization. These rubbers include ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer rubber (EPDM), butyl rubber (IIR), halobutyl rubbers, and nitrile rubber (NBR).
  • What happens during sulfur vulcanization?
  • During vulcanization, the rubber molecule becomes cross-linked and a three-dimensional network structure is formed. During vulcanization rubber loses its tackiness and it is more resistant to solvents, heats, light, etc. Fig. 1.20 shows the schematic representation of sulfur vulcanization. Figure 1.20.
  • What is a model compound for unaccelerated sulfur vulcanization?
  • Model compound work for unaccelerated sulfur vulcanization has included the use of mono- and diolefins. The polyisoprene model compound work has indicated that the structures in elemental sulfur vulcanization are alkylalkenyl and alkyl-alkyl in nature.
