Question

rubber is an example of a ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rubber is an example of an elastomer type polymer, where the polymer has the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or deformed. ... Natural rubber is an addition polymer that is obtained as a milky white fluid known as latex from a tropical rubber tree.

Answer 2

Rubber is an example of an elastomer type polymer

Explanation:

• An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (i.e., both viscosity and elasticity) and with weak intermolecular forces, typically a low Young's modulus and a higher failure stress than other materials.
• Rubber-like solids with elastic properties are called elastomers.
• An elastomer is a polymer that has a viscosity and, with weak intermolecular forces, typically a low Young's modulus and a high failure stress compared to other materials.
• The four common elastomers are cis-polyisoprene (natural rubber, NR), cis-polybutadiene (butadiene rubber, BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and ethylene-propylene monomer (EPM).
