vulcanised
past of vulcanise
vulcanises
third-person singular of vulcanise
vulcanising
present participle of vulcanise
vulcanization
any of various processes by which natural or synthetic rubber or other polymeric materials may be cured or otherwise treated (i e , exposed to chemicals, heat or pressure) to render them non-thermoplastic, and which improve their elastic and physical properties
vulcanization
A process by which rubber is hardened using heat and sulphur
vulcanization
{i} method of treating crude rubber with sulphur and exposing it to high temperatures to increase its durability and elasticity
vulcanization
A thermo-setting reaction involving the use of heat and pressure, resulting in greatly increased strength and elasticity of rubber-like materials
vulcanization
An irreversible process during which a rubber compound achieves its designed properties through a change in its chemical structure
vulcanization
The act or process of imparting to caoutchouc, gutta- percha, or the like, greater elasticity, durability, or hardness by heating with sulphur under pressure
vulcanization
cross-linking with heat and sulfur to toughen a polymer
vulcanization
a process during which a rubber compound, through a change in its chemical structure, improves or extends elastic properties over a greater range of temperature
vulcanization
process of treating rubber or rubberlike materials with sulphur at great heat to improve elasticity and strength or to harden them
vulcanization
Process of changing the chemical structure of rubber, converting it so that the elastomeric state exists over a greater range of temperature; in some cases the process is extended so that the substance become rigid
vulcanization
Chemical process, discovered by Charles Goodyear (1839), by which the physical properties of natural or synthetic rubber are improved. It consists principally of heating rubber with sulfur; other substances (accelerators, carbon black, antioxidants, etc.) are also added. The sulfur does not simply dissolve or disperse in the rubber, but rather combines chemically, mostly in the form of cross-links (bridges) between the long-chain molecules; however, the reactions are not fully understood. Vulcanized rubber has higher tensile strength and resistance to swelling and abrasion, and is elastic over a greater range of temperatures
vulcanization
a process in which sulfur is added to rubber and the mixture is heated, causing crosslinking of the polymer chains and thus adding strength to the rubber
vulcanized
past of vulcanize
vulcanized
(used of rubber, e g ) treated by a chemical or physical process to improve its properties (hardness and strength and odor and elasticity)
vulcanizer
{i} person or thing which treats crude rubber with sulphur and exposes it to high temperatures to increase its durability and elasticity (also vulcaniser)
vulcanizer
One who, or that which, vulcanizes; esp
vulcanizer
an apparatus for vulcanizing caoutchouc
vulcanizer
someone who vulcanizes rubber to improve its strength and resiliency
vulcanizes
third-person singular of vulcanize
vulcanizing
