The conveyor belt\u2019s tensile strength, which primarily relies on the property of the carcass, determines the area of application of the belt. The main aim of the current work was to investigate the influence of vulcanization temperature and duration of the vulcanization process on the tensile properties of the carcass part of the conveyor belt. An extensive experiment was carried out on the tensile properties of woven fabrics that were intended to reinforce conveyor belts by aging the fabrics at the temperature of 140 \u00b0C, 160 \u00b0C, and 220 \u00b0C for six and thirty-five minutes of aging durations. Afterward, the textile-reinforced conveyor belts were produced at vulcanization temperatures of 140 \u00b0C, 160 \u00b0C, and 220 \u00b0C for six and thirty-five minutes of vulcanizing durations. The influence of the vulcanization process parameters on the tensile property of fabrics utilized for the reinforcement of the conveyor belt was analyzed. In addition, the effect of the dipping process of woven fabric in resorcinol\u2013formaldehyde\u2013latex on the tensile property of polyester\/polyamide 66 woven fabric (EP fabric) was investigated. The investigation results revealed that the tensile strength of the carcass of the conveyor belt was significantly affected by vulcanization temperature. The conveyor belt vulcanized at 160 \u00b0C for 35 min has shown the optimum tensile strength, which is 2.22% and 89.06% higher than the samples vulcanized at 140 \u00b0C and 220 \u00b0C for 35 min, respectively. Furthermore, the tensile strength and percentage elongation at break of conveyor belts vulcanized at 220 \u00b0C were almost destroyed regardless of the vulcanization duration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma14247552","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,9]],"date-time":"2021-12-09T21:46:58Z","timestamp":1639086418000},"page":"7552","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Effect of Vulcanization Process Parameters on the Tensile Strength of Carcass of Textile-Rubber Reinforced Conveyor Belts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7511-5118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsegaye Sh.","family":"Lemmi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design, Institute of Architecture of Textiles, Lodz University of Technology, 90-924 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8127-477X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Barburski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design, Institute of Architecture of Textiles, Lodz University of Technology, 90-924 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Kabzinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sempertrans Be\u0142chat\u00f3w Sp. z o.o., 97-427 Rogowiec, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Frukacz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sempertrans Be\u0142chat\u00f3w Sp. z o.o., 97-427 Rogowiec, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Tiwari, B.R., Singh, H.K., and Yadav, K.
