  1. vulcanisation

    Vulcanisation is a chemical process that converts natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials by heating them with sulfur or other curatives or accelerators. This process results in improved elasticity, hardness, tensile strength and reduced plasticity, enabling the rubber to withstand greater wear and tear and extreme temperatures without losing its elasticity. Vulcanisation is named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
