1 Introduction Crosslinking, also known as curing or vulcanization, is a process applied to any type of rubber or elastomer to create a thermoset material. This procedure improves the elasticity and enhances the mechanical, chemical, and thermal stability of the material. The crosslinks create a three-dimensional network by interlocking the polymers—one of the three conditions to be fulfilled for a material to exhibit rubber-like elasticity, as formulated by Treloar.
