The rubber vulcanization process involved with making shoes can be smelly and inefficient. Vulcanization with sulfur requires high temperatures, long heating periods–and that nasty chemical smell. So ...

Rubber is a natural substance deriving from trees, but to get it into its useful form, treatment in the form of a process called vulcanization must occur. Vulcanization cures rubber via the method of ...

The vulcanization process is a cornerstone of rubber engineering, involving the cross-linking of polymer chains to enhance elasticity, durability and resistance to chemical degradation. Recent ...

Why should vulcanization accelerators be used? After more than 100 years of development, the world rubber industry has become an important traditional industry in many developed countries. However, ...

The vulcanization of rubber was one of the great industrial discoveries of the technologically busy 19th century. By vulcanization, the gooey substance from trees was made, as Charles Slack writes in ...

When it comes to choosing a pair of skate shoes, you've got a ton of choices: the brand, the color, high top, low top, mid top, or slip-on, materials (leather, suede, canvas, nubuck), but most ...
