Abstract
In this paper, I will describe the crosslinked structure and the mechanism of the crosslinking commonly used. The crosslinking mechanism and the crosslinked structure have not been elucidated clearly.
The crosslinking of rubber with sulfur was discovered 175 years ago. Since then, organic peroxide, quinoid and resin crosslinkings have been put to practical use. Further, the development of special purpose rubbers has been accompanied by that of new crosslinking methods.
