If you drop a piece of rubber in liquid nitrogen, (in a dewar, where the liquid nitrogen does not boil that fast), then the rubber will be frozen.
In that sense, the rubber will get hard and brittle.
If by 'freeze' you mean the formal definition, which is to form actual crystals, as water does when it freezes, then the rubber won't freeze.
You should know that when you drop the rubber into the liquid, the liquid will boil off very quickly for a while even though it's in a dewar. That's because heat will flow straight from the rubber into the liquid.
When rubber is heated it will contract rather than expand. This is different than most materials which expand when they are heated.
No, rubber does not expand when it is frozen. It actually constricts when it is frozen and becomes brittle enough to break.
Rubber expands with the cold and contracts with heat
It is no longer flexible, it becomes brittle.
yes rubber can stand the cold why you ask
it breaks
Heat expands rubber
None
Nothing conducts cold, really. Materials conduct heat, rather than the lack of it, and rubber has a low thermal conductivity, and is therefore considered a thermal insulator.
It traps a layer of water between your skin and the rubber. The layer of water warms up because of your body heat and helps keep you protected from the cold water. The thicker the rubber wetsuit the warmer you will be.
No, it can cause a cold though depending on how long one were to stand or sit in the rain.

Yes, rubber is waterproof, which is why early rain gear was cloth that was coated with rubber. It dries out and cracks over time.
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.
yes it does because from all the warm,hot,cold,rainy weather it does affect it if there was lighting it would shocked the rubber band to have cracks or marks or it can sometime pull out the rubber band
Run it under cold water. Try getting it to be cold. Since particles extract when warm causing the rubber to become soft.
stand on polystyrene or rubber
Treated rubber is made to not melt and flow when hot or be brittle when too cold.
Acid, heat, sunlight, fire, extreme cold..... rubber is susceptible to all of these. probably more....
No material could stand up to the stresses and workload necessary for train wheels in the same price range as steel. Rubber doesnt stand a chance.
It is the fat rubber clan

Yes, it makes the rubber ball a little softer and therefore a bit bouncier. In the cold the rubber is cold so it will not bounce as high. -competitive tennis player
Humidity really has no effect on the strength of rubber bands, but temperature does. Heat and cold affects the structure, strength, and elasticity of rubber bands.
Do not stand in water and don't wear rubber things
