Description
Rubber is a very important material used in many industries because of its flexibility, elasticity, and durability. It is used in products such as vehicle tires, industrial parts, medical equipment, and household items.
One of the most important processes in rubber production is vulcanization. Vulcanization is a chemical process that improves the properties of raw rubber by adding substances such as sulfur.
During vulcanization, polymer chains in rubber become connected, creating a stronger structure. This process increases rubber’s resistance to heat, pressure, wear, and deformation.
Vehicle tires are one of the most important products made from vulcanized rubber. The quality of vulcanization affects tire safety, performance, and lifespan.
Modern research focuses on producing stronger, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly rubber materials.
