A new modelling approach for predicting process evolution of cork-rubber composites slabs vulcanization

Abstract In order to predict the evolution of the vulcanization process of cork-rubber slabs, a numerical approach was developed combining heat transfer by conduction and kinetics models. A one-dimensional model was applied to predict the evolution of temperature and degree of cure at different stag...
