  2. Curing (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(chemistry)

    In rubber, the curing is also induced by the addition of a crosslinker. The resulting process is called sulfur vulcanization. Sulfur breaks down to form polysulfide cross-links (bridges) between sections of the polymer chains. The degree of crosslinking determines the rigidity and durability, as well as other properties of the material. [5]

  3. Barcol hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcol_hardness_test

    The test complements the measurement of glass transition temperature, as an indirect measure of the degree of cure of a composite. It is inexpensive and quick, and provides information on the cure throughout a part.

  4. Curing (food preservation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(food_preservation)

    Curing can be traced back to antiquity, and was the primary method of preserving meat and fish until the late 19th century. Dehydration was the earliest form of food curing. [1] Many curing processes also involve smoking, spicing, cooking, or the addition of combinations of sugar, nitrate, and nitrite. [1] Slices of beef in a can

  5. Thermosetting polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosetting_polymer

    Left: individual linear polymer chains Right: Polymer chains which have been cross linked to give a rigid 3D thermoset polymer. In materials science, a thermosetting polymer, often called a thermoset, is a polymer that is obtained by irreversibly hardening ("curing") a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer (). [1]

  6. Cheese ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_ripening

    The effect of dairy salt in Cheddar cheese making: increased use of salt reduces moisture and slows the ripening process. [1]Cheese ripening, alternatively cheese maturation or affinage, is a process in cheesemaking.

  7. Vulcanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcanization

    The cure package is adjusted specifically for the substrate and the application. The reactive sites—cure sites—are allylic hydrogen atoms. These C-H bonds are adjacent to carbon-carbon double bonds (>C=C<). During vulcanization, some of these C-H bonds are replaced by chains of sulfur atoms that link with a cure site of another polymer ...

  8. Curing of tobacco - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_of_tobacco

    Curing and subsequent aging allow for the slow oxidation and degradation of carotenoids in the tobacco leaf. This produces various compounds in the tobacco leaves that give cured tobacco its sweet aromatic aroma, characteristic flavor, and degree of "smoothness" to the consumed product.

  9. Drying oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil

    The "drying", hardening, or, more properly, curing of oils is the result of autoxidation, the addition of oxygen to an organic compound, and the subsequent crosslinking.. This process begins with an oxygen molecule (O 2) in the air inserted into carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds adjacent to one of the double bonds within the unsaturated fatty
