● 5 carbon and 8
hydrogen polymers
Synthetic rubber
● Artificial elastomer
(polymer)
● Substitute for natural
rubber
Properties
● Elasticity
● Thermal contraction
● Durability
 Elasticity

● Return to their normal shape after being

compressed or stretched.
● Temporality pulls or pushes the individual
molecule
● As the molecules attached to one another.
● Thermal contraction
● unusual phenomena result from how rubber
molecules respond to heat.
● Heat is applied tangled molecules become
more tangled and twisted.
● Heat is removed, the molecules return to
their resting state..
Durability

● rubber are highly durable

● resting damage and degradation from
abrasive and tear forces,
● high impact, low temperature, and water
● exhibit a relatively slow heat buildup rate.
Usage
● Vehicles, aircraft and bicycles.
● Car tires.
● Brackets, gaskets, straps and hoses.
● Different shapes and sizes.
● How it can tolerate heat (used in industries, households and even in labs).
● Waterproof.
● Ball, balloons and belts etc.
