The main element used in the vulcanisation of rubber is

  • A.Nickel
  • B.Copper
  • C.Sulphur
  • D.Graphite

Answer: C

Sulphur is used to vulcanise rubber.

Charles Goodyear's process, heating raw rubber with 3–5 per cent sulphur at about 145 °C, forms sulphur cross-links between the polyisoprene chains. The chains can then no longer slide past one another, so the rubber becomes harder, more elastic and much less sensitive to temperature.
