    Vulcanisation of Rubber

    Uploaded by

    The document describes the process of vulcanizing rubber. Latex is treated with substance X to form solid rubber, which then undergoes process Y where sulfur atoms link the rubber molecules, forming vulcanized rubber. Vulcanized rubber has advantages over natural rubber as its molecules are cross-linked by sulfur atoms during vulcanization, making the material harder, less sticky, and more durable.
