Mechanism of Accelerated Sulfur Vulcanization Wonmun CHOI Research & Development Center, The Yokohama Rubber, Co., Ltd., Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan Nippon Gomu Kyokaishi,(2006),79(10),480-486 General Review in Japanese Abstract The reactivities of hydrocarbon, the radical reactions through the allylic radicals, the results of model compound vulcanization, and the cross-link structures of vulcanizates are comprehensively reviewed and discussed to understand the main reaction for accelerated sulfur vulcanization. Through this review, the author's view on the main mechanism and cross-linking structure for accelerated sulfur vulcanization are discussed. Keywords: Accelerated sulfur vulcanization, Main mechanism, Radical reactions, Concerted mechanism, Cross-link structures.
