What material returns to its original shape when a load is removed?
An elastomer, which is also called "a rubber" but most elastomers contain no rubber.
Botanical name for rubber tree?
Natural rubber is mainly is mainly poly-cis-isoprene. Synthetic rubber is an artificial elastomer.
What is the difference between silicone rubber and urethane rubber?
Urethane rubber is actually not rubber. It is known as urethane elastomer and is cheaper than Silicone rubber. However, it does not last a long and requires the application of a release agent before every casting. It is cheaper than silicone rubber and has a higher tear strength.
TR or TPR material for shoe sole?
TR also known as thermoplastic elastomer is a material similar in use like rubber but different in its making. it is used to make the soles of shoes and other such. you can check out online by typing 'thermoplastic elastomer" TR in address bar.
What type of elastomer accounts for most synthetic rubber industry sales?
Commodity elastomers, which account for the bulk of industry sales, are available at relatively low prices from several manufacturers.
In which product manufacturing is EPDM rubber used?
Ethylene propylene diene M-class rubber, or just EPDM rubber, is just one of many types of elastomer, and it has a wide range of applications. Roofing materials and vehicle component mating surfaces and weather seals are just two. A link can be found below.
Is the inside of a golf-ball rubber bands?
Not anymore. They used to be, but there has been vast improvements in the rubber and thermoplastic elastomer cores meaning elastic bands are not needed. If you cut open a ball circa 2000 or so there will be bands in it, only the top range ones though.
What is the function of a rubber connector?
Rubber connectors that are impregnated with carbon or metal are good. They they are flexible and low profile. So this means that they can be used in very tight places. For instance, that is how the circuit board of a digital watch connects to the display.
Why don't engineers design rubber briges?

Can you correct a bulge in a tire?
No, you can not correct a bulge in a tire. Sorry, but that tire is now just scrap rubber.
What is TPE plastic?
TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer. It is a range of polymers (plastics) that can be processed (moulded or extruded) like a plastic when over their melt temperature, but exhibit properties of thermoset rubber. the advantage to using TPE over thermoset rubber, is that it can be easily re-moulded and re-worked whereas rubber cannot. TPE can be soft, stretchy, and flexible, or hard and rigid depending on the mixture of crystalline and amorphous polymers used.
