Do rubber bands decompose?

Yes. Rubber bands are thermoset polymers. Unlike thermoplastics, they do not melt or turn rubbery/soft when heated above their glass transition temperature. Instead, when they are heated, they decompose, losing mass, breaking up their polymer chains and become more weakened in strength. There are also other ways that they can decompose, which is due to UV light from the Sun or other sources attacking the polymer chains of the rubber bands. This also causes it to weaken.


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.
