How do synthetic and natural rubber differ?

Natural latex is made from 100% natural rubber. Talalay latex is a type of latex that combines natural and synthetic latex usually 70% natural latex and 30% synthetic rubber made from raw materials derived from oil based products.


Is there any latex in polyethylene?

Why do you use both natural and synthetic rubber?

Natural rubber is made from latex which is taken from trees and is widely used in many products to this day. Synthetic rubber is preferable in most applications today due to the fact that it is more durable than natural rubber and the chances of allergic reactions are smaller.

No, because rubber stretches then snaps back into place. Spring steel might be as elastic as rubber BUT normal steel is much less elastic than rubber.

What is more elastic iron or rubber?

N0. The common belief is that if an object elongates easily the object is more elastic . But in Physics the object which gives more resistance to elongate is said to be more elastic . Such objects will have high Young's modulus . Steel is more elastic than copper . The Young's modulus for steel is 210 G Pa For copper it is 117 G Pa Elongation for steel is 35% and for copper it is 45% For rubber Young's modulus is 0.02 G Pa and elongation is 500 % During collision two clay balls will stick together. We call it inelastic collision . Two steel balls will rebound easily and the collision is elastic collision.

Is rubber petroleum based?

Synthetic rubber is petroleum based. According to Wikipedia, using 2005 statistics, 58% of all rubber production is synthetic rubber or approximately 12 million tons. The chemical composition of rubber is complex. According to Wikipedia, under petrochemicals, synthetic rubber is synthetic elastomers made of any one or more of several petrochemical (usually) monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, styrene, isobutylene, isoprene, elastomeric polymers are often made with a high percentage of conjugated diene monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, or chloroprene. Also, Wikipedia notes that since so much of our rubber is synthetic, then the price of rubber depends to a large degree on the price of oil. I encourage you to follow some of the links, particularly as given in the natural rubber link, as it gives the interesting history of rubber.
