Give example of natural elastomer. Write answer in brief.
Answers
natural rubbers and styrene-butadiene block
Answer:
Example of natural elastomers are natural rubber , neoprene rubber , buna-s , buna-n.
Explanation:
An elastomer is a polymer, that has very weak intermolecular forces, it has low Young's Modulus and high failure strain as compared to other materials. Each of the monomer which is linked to form a polymer is usualluy a compound of several elements among Carbon , Hydrogen , Oxygen and Silicon. At ambient temperature such rubber are thus relatively soft and are deformable. Rubber like solids with elastic properties are called elastomers. Polymer chains are held together by weak intermolecular bonds, which permits the polymers to stretch in response to macroscopic stresses. Examples are - natural rubber , neoprene rubber , buna-s , buna-n.
