A cure kinetic model was presented to explain the reversion and the induction period commonly found in the vulcanization of rubber compounds. The model has three kinetic rate constants and one induction time which should be determined on the basis of isothermal rheometer curves. The torque curves calculated using the estimated parameters showed an excellent agreement with the measured curves for two rubber samples. An Arrhenius type relation was adopted to account for the temperature dependence of each kinetic parameter, and the corresponding Arrhenius plot showed very good linearity. It was shown that the proposed model can be used for predicting the state of cure for rubber compounds which undergo nonisothermal cure steps.
