What is the purpose of rubber or plastic insulation around appliance cords?
Rubber tends to not burn as easily as plastic. Also, rubber is more moisture-resistant than plastic. If rubber burns, the fumes from burning rubber are safer than fumes from burning plastic. Sometimes rubber is used because the cord tends to remain more flexible with rubber insulation.
Is plastic harder than rubber?
Yes! Depends which plastic and which rubber you are talking about. It really is quite alarming how people use terms like "Plastic" and "rubber" when there are HUGE numbers of massively different products falling under each category.

How does treated rubber have different properties then untreated rubber?

If heat is added to a rubber band what happens?
When heat is added to a rubber band, the rubber band will expand and become more flexible. This is because the heat causes the rubber molecules to move around more freely, allowing the rubber band to stretch more easily.
Is the Nerf 100 dart box plastic?
Yes it is, but it is flexible and more durable than the plastic used in the blasters
Is a plastic container considered non reactive in cooking?
It's easy to assess the reactivity of plastic in terms of its structure. The more flexible a plastic, the more it is reactive. Thus plastic wrap more quickly exchanges synthetic ions with food than does a flexible milk jug; and the latter is more reactive than a sturdy plastic container. Do not store foods in plastic containers that once contained chemicals. And, it's not advisable to microwave food in plastic.

PVC is bad for the environment and your health. Polypropylene, on the other hand, is the best alternative. PP is the best choice for most consumers and businesses.
How does heat affect the elasticity of a rubber band?
Heat can cause a rubber band to lose its elasticity by breaking down the molecular structure of the rubber, making it less flexible and more prone to stretching or breaking.
Why do rubber balloons lose air faster than plastic balloons?
Rubber balloons are more porous than plastic balloons, so they allow air to slowly escape through the surface more easily. This makes rubber balloons deflate faster compared to plastic balloons, which have a tighter seal and are less permeable to air.
