What is Natural rubber

• Natural rubber is a
natural polymer of
organic compound
isoprene obtained from
the bark of tropical
and subtropical trees.
The rubber came from
white fluid obtained
from trees called as
latex
 History of rubber
The first use of rubber was by the
indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica.
They made the rubber from the
natural latex of the Hevea tree.
They use this rubber to make balls
for the Mesoamerican ballgame.
Later rubber was used by the Maya
and Aztec cultures to make a
container and to make textiles
waterproof by impregnating them
with latex sap.
 Physical properties of rubber
• Rubber is a polymer 1,4
polyisoprene with a molecular
weight of 100k to 1m daltons.
• Hardness
• Tensile Strength
• Tensile modulus
• Elongation
• Resilience
• Compression set
• Tear resistance
• Abrasion resistance.
 Monomer unit of natural rubber
The monomer of
rubber is Isoprene.
To form a natural
rubber or a polymer.
It needs to be 1000
joins of isoprene units
to form a polymer or
natural rubber.
