Inverse Vulcanisation of Sulfur - Preparation Methods and Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we present a general overview of the development of the sulfur-based polymers that have been synthesized by inverse vulcanization and therefore they are collectively referred to as inverse vulcanized sulfur. The method of inverse vulcanization was introduced in 2013. Since then many different samples of inverse vulcanized sulfur with different properties have been synthesized. At the same time, various practical applications were introduced, including the possibility of using inverse vulcanized sulfur as the active material of the Li-S batteries.
