Does humidity affect the strength of rubber bands?
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.
Does heating up a rubber band make it more stretchy?
NO it actually does the opposite, rubber bands actually contrast in heat and expands in the cold holo this helps
Why do rubber bands become warm when stretched repeatedly?
Because of the friction from repeated motion and the molecules are being stretched to the limit of separation, therefore creating heat.
What happens to a rubber band if exposed to heat?
When a rubber band is exposed to heat it contracts heat, meaning that sucks up all the heat and becomes smaller.
Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
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.

Does temperature affect the elasticity of a rubber band'?
no it does not change the elasticty if any thing it makes the rubber band smaller.What effect does heat have on the elasticity of rubber?That is not an easy question to answer but the heat stretches the rubber band because the molecules have to arrange or move themselves around. When a rubber band isn't being stretched the molecules are in a srtaight line.
How does heat affect rubber bands?
they contract
What does the term vulcanize mean?
To treat rubber with sulphur and heat thus providing greater strength and elasticity
What stretching quality does rubber have?
When force is applied to rubber, the elastic tension energy disrupts bonds, and changes the structure, as if heat is applied. Heat is actually absorbed by the rubber, as its elasticity increases, while undergoing the "stretch" deformation. When force is no longer applied, the streched rubber collapses, releasing heat, as the structure reverses form, to its starting molecular conformation.
How does heat effect rubber?
It will soften, melt and burn
How are silly bands made?
Rubber bands are made by extruding the rubber into a long tube to provide its general shape, putting the tubes on mandrels, curing the rubber with heat, and then slicing it across the width of the tube into little bands.
Does heating up a rubber band make it more stretchy?
NO it actually does the opposite, rubber bands actually contrast in heat and expands in the cold holo this helps
How do you make shaped rubber bands at home?
first you need rubber string then some heat like a lighter then you put the string in a shape and with the heat put it together and you get a shape! It may not be the shape you want but it will be bracelet
How do you melt a rubber band?
MEK or Methyl Ethyl Ketone will dissolve rubber. Acetone works great as well, fingernail polish remover.
What does heat do to rubber?
When left out in the sun rubber will loose some of its elasticity or crack, the ink will lose some color, and paper will be bleached or become whiter. This occurs because of the action of the ultraviolet light of the sun.
