Abstract
A review of the peroxide vulcanisation of elastomers is presented. The generalised mechanism of crosslinking reaction is discussed while network structure is related to vulcaniszate properties. Emphasis will be on elastomers where only the peroxide system is suitable or where it has a comparable advantage over other systems. In addition, the uses of coagents in peroxide vulcanisation are discussed while an attempt to design a delayed-action peroxide system is mentioned.
