Vulcanice
Vulcanice is a hypothetical material or process that has not been established in scientific literature or common usage. The term appears to be a portmanteau of "vulcanization" and potentially "ice" or a related concept, suggesting a connection to rubber processing or a frozen state. Vulcanization is a chemical process that converts natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials by adding sulfur or other equivalent curatives or accelerators. This process introduces cross-links between polymer chains, increasing strength, elasticity, and resistance to temperature changes.
If "vulcanice" were to refer to a novel application or modification of vulcanization, it might involve treating
