vulcanize
Vulcanize is a process in which rubber is heated with sulfur at a high temperature to improve its strength and elasticity. The process, named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, results in the formation of cross-links between the polymer chains of the rubber, making it more durable, less sticky, and resistant to heat and cold. This process is used in making various rubber products including tires, shoe soles, and hoses.
Webster Dictionary
Vulcanizeverb
