Best Answer

rubber is not strong on its own but when it is vulcanised,i.e.,heated with sulphur to a definite temperaturefor a known period of time,it becomes strong because sulphur atoms act as bridges between rubber molecules, initiate cross-linking and convert the soft sticky rubber into a hard, elastic mass which can be put to extensive uses such as use in tyres,etc

Because it is elastic.
