Rubber is a natural polymers with elastic and plastic type behavior. It is found in nature and extracted from trees. PET (soda bottles) Polyethylene Terephthalate is a synthetic polymer and not found in nature.

∙ 9y agoNatural polymers have been on earth, way before us humans came, Natural polymers are very useful to us even now, natural polymers incluse, RNA, and DNA, that are so important in genes and life processes. Examples of natural polymers may be: silk, wool, cellulose etc...
Synthetic polymers are man made, usually by scientists or engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers are: Nylon, Polyrthene, Polyester, neopone (which is a synthetic rubber).

Btw , not sure if this is the only similarity .. :D

Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers Natural polymers are cheap to recycle and synthetic polymers are expensive to recycle. Natural polymers are expe?
Natural polymers will degrade over time.... man-made polymers are not biodegradable - and need to be processed.
What is the definition of semi -synthetic polymer?
semi-synthetic polymers are obtained from natural polymers by subjecting them to some chemical processes. eg: vulcanised rubber.
Why are synthetic materials used more often than natural materials?
skeen brov but yeh advanatages r dey r stonger and cheaper than natural materials
Why are polymers added to drilling fluid?
polymers add consistency or thickness to fluids. Because a number of additives can improve the filter cake such as bentonite, natural & synthetic polymer, asphalt and gilsonite.
What is made out of synthetic polymers?
Synthetic polymers are chemicals made by rearranging the structure of existing molecules, especially large molecules containing carbon. The molecular chains (monomers) that make up organic molecules can be artifically strung together to create materials such as plastics, neoprene rubber, nylon and rayon.Synthetic polymers are man-made mega-molecules. Examples of modern and revolutionary synthetic polymers include DuPont pioneering Nylon and Dacron fibers.
Why are synthetic polymers often used in place of natural material?
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.

How is the polymer classified?
For example thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, natural and synthetic polymers.
How are polymers and synthetic polymers similar?

Are pollymers synthetic?
Also natural polymers exist.
What are some examples of natural polymers and synthetic polymers?
Natural polymer: shellac, amber, natural rubber, cellulose Synthetic polymers: synthetic rubber, Bakelite, neoprene, nylon, PVC, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone, etc.
Is rubber an element?
no, both natural and synthetic rubber are polymers
How are nature polymers and synthetic polymers similar?
Nature polymers and synthetic polymers are both large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. They both have high molecular weights and exhibit similar properties like flexibility, strength, and durability. Additionally, both nature and synthetic polymers can be engineered to have specific properties for various applications.
Are cellulose molecules examples of synthetic polymers?
No a cellulose is a natural polymer
What are natural and synthetic polymers?
A natural polymer would be rubber which is obtained from nature. A synthetic polymer would be polybutadiene which behaves like rubber.
What is the definition of semi -synthetic polymer?
semi-synthetic polymers are obtained from natural polymers by subjecting them to some chemical processes. eg: vulcanised rubber.
