Soon after the vulcanization of rubber became fully established, attempts began to be made to "devulcanize" the scrap and cuttings of rubber which accumulated in the factories.
It was in the year 1839, by an accident, that he discovered the true process of vulcanization which cured not the surface alone but the whole mass.
Goodyear lived for sixteen years after his discovery of the vulcanization process.
This was the starting point of vulcanization, for vulcanization consists simply in admixing sulphur with the rubber, and then subjecting it for six to eight hours to a temperature of about 300 deg.
This vulcanization is said to have been discovered accidentally by searching different colored stuffs, some of which were dyed yellow with sulphur; the latter stood well.
Vulcanization is simply the heating of the rubber mixed with sulphur--this causes a chemical change in the substance; it becomes tougher, more elastic and less affected by heat and cold.
He persisted in his quest, however, and it was accident at last that opened the way to discovery of the processes of vulcanization for which Goodyear was seeking.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "vulcanization" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
