Hi there :D
Rubber is a hydrocarbon therefore hydrogen and carbon. Also some rubber is hardened. This is called vulcinisation and it uses sulphur. If you would like a free lecture on this or just dancy a chat do not hesistate to call: 07801511359
Many thanks James Cockerton
The basis of all rubbers are long simple chains - they are polymers - in natural and most man-made ones, that is a carbon chain, in silicone rubbers the repeat unit is Si-O. Most of what is attached to that chain are usually carbon and hydrogen-containing groups but almost anything can be included into the rubber molecules if particular functionality is introduced into the attached groups. Cross-linking of carbon-based rubber in particular can be achieved by reacting them with polyvalent elements such as sulphur.
Natural Rubber is made from the sap of rubber trees, called Latex.
Synthetic Rubber is made from Oil.
Pure natural rubber is just hydrogen and carbon - but there are always contaminants. When rubber is vulcanized, sulfur is added to it. See related links for further help
carbon and hydrogen for sure.
but other elements like sulphur or chlorine is also possible depending on the grade or the type of rubber.

Pure and natural rubber is made of carbon and hydrogen. Manufactured rubber contains many things, depending on the manufacturer and the type of rubber.
Sulphur is used in vulcanization of rubber
Rubber contain C, O, H and additives as sulfur compounds.
The vulcanization of rubber is a chemical process where you convert rubber, or other related polymers, into a more durable material by way of the addition of sulfur. The reason why you can not use any other element to do this is because other elements do not produce the same results.
sulphur
Sulfur is a component of black gunpowder, and is used in the vulcanization of natural rubber and a fungicide. It is used to make sulfite paper and other papers, to fumigate fumigant, and to bleach dried fruits. The element is a good insulator. Sulfur is essential to life. It is a minor constituent of fats, body fluids, and skeletal minerals. It is used in rubber vulcanization, the manufacture of insecticides and pharmaceuticals, and in the preparation of sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and sulfuric acid. Atomic number 16; atomic weight 32.066; melting point (rhombic) 112.8°C, (monoclinic) 119.0°C; boiling point 444.6°C; specific gravity (rhombic) 2.07, (monoclinic) 1.957; valence 2, 4, 6.It is used for black gun powder, vulcanization, Sulfuric acid, Epsom salt, Sulfate, sulfur drugs
sulfur is the element that is used in insecticides.
Rubber in natural form is a long polymer with a strong tendency to swallow and a very small capability to maintain its form in front of temperature changes. As all polymers it is formed by very long chains formed by repetition of the same molecule, called the monomer. The chain can be cross linked by introducing chemical bonds either between different parts of the same chain or between different chains. By cross linking natural rubber with sulfur (a process called vulcanization) the rubber becomes much more elastic, that is able to return to its original shape after deformation, and much more resistant to temperature changes. This means that a chain of three sulfur atoms are structured like a bridge bonding different parts of a chain or of different chains. At 2 to 3% cross linking a soft rubber, that no longer suffers stickiness and brittleness problems on heating and cooling, is obtained. At 25 to 35% cross linking a rigid hard rubber product is formed.
Sulphur, in a process called vulcanization.
Sulphur (Sulfur) is added to rubber in the process known as vulcanization.
The vulcanization of rubber is a chemical process where you convert rubber, or other related polymers, into a more durable material by way of the addition of sulfur. The reason why you can not use any other element to do this is because other elements do not produce the same results.

Vulcanization.
Sulphur (or the different spelling, Sulfur) was added to rubber to form the process of vulcanization.

the Goodyear brothers invented vulcanization of rubber.
Goodyear says 1839. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcanization#Overview_and_history
It is Charles Goodyear.
Autoclaves are widely used to cure composites and in the vulcanization of rubber.
He didn't invent vulcanization of rubber. He discovered it in 1839 and patented the process on June 15, 1844. However, there is credible evidence that the Mesoamericans may also have used this process to make stable rubber for use as rubber balls in around 1600 B.C.
