Answer» The process by which a network of cross links is introduced into an elastomer is called vulcanization. Vulcanization enhances the properties of natural rubber like tensile strength, stiffness, elasticity, toughness etc. Sulphur forms cross links between polyisoprene chains which results in improved properties of rubber.
