Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sulfur forms links (cross-links) between polymer chains, which increases the strength, elasticity and durability of the rubber. It does not break the carbon chains into smaller chains or insert itself into the carbon chain. While sulfur can link chains together, it does not link all chains into one long chain.
