[1]: It consists of molding and vulcanizing raw
rubber onto a metallic surface coated with an adhesive
reactive bonding layer. The rubber-to-metal assembly is
thus obtained in a unique step. Contrary to “post-vulcanization
bonding” techniques, it also allows the molding of
complex shapes with bonded metallic inserts. Nevertheless,
the process is quite complex since it involves various
diffusion phenomena, along with chemisorption, bulk and
interfacial crosslinking reactions
