Abstract
The adiabatic technique of making kinetic measurements has been applied to published time‐–temperature data concerning the vulcanization of Buna S with 6% sulfur. The kinetic parameters of the rate‐determining step are calculated within stated limits of accuracy; the rate‐determining step is thereby identified as the reaction S8 (ring) → S8 (chain biradical) which has been speculatively advanced as the first step in vulcanization by some investigators.Keywords
