∙ 14y agoThe bond between the polymer chains can be stretched without breaking, thus the polymer can regain shape after distortion from an outside force: it is elastic.

What is rubber cement?
Rubber cement is a type of glue that is oten used in gluing paper, because it is not water-based, and therefore does not ruin the paper.Rubber glue is an elastic polymer mixed with a solvent like acetone. When it's applied, the solvent dries out allowing the glue to harden and adhere.
What polymer are balloons made of?
Balloons are made up of a polymer, rubber. the reason for rubber being used in making of balloons is that rubber is an example of an elastomer type polymer, where the polymer has the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or deformed. The rubber polymer is coiled when in the resting state. The elastic properties arise from the its ability to stretch the chains apart, but when the tension is released the chains snap back to the original position.

The chitin that makes up the exoskeleton of insects is made of a polymer of amino acids?
A chitin that makes up the exoskeleton of insects is not made out of a polymer of amino acids. Chitin is a nitrogen that contains polysaccharide.
What are lithium polymer batteries?
Lithium polymer batteries are preferred to other batteries because these are usually the rechargeable ones. That makes them better for the environment.
Most Elastic material on earth?
The most elastic material in the world was artificially produced and is a type of Alginate-Polyacrylamide based hydrogel. It can be stretched upon 20 times its length and still regains its original shape.
