Hard rubber, also known as ebonite, is a type of rubber that has been vulcanized to achieve increased hardness and durability. It is commonly used in applications requiring electrical insulation, such as in electrical components, as well as in products like combs and Musical Instruments. The material is characterized by its dark color, resistance to chemicals, and ability to maintain shape under stress. Hard rubber is less flexible than standard rubber, making it suitable for specific industrial and consumer uses.

Why car is not made of hard rubber so that it is more elastic during collision?

Actually, hard rubber is not elastic. If you have ever had a hard rubber ball you know this. Also, rubber dries out and cracks in hot weather and doesn't expand or contract in cold weather so it would just fall apart eventually. Most people want to keep a car going for several years and it wouldn't hold up if it was hard rubber. Hard rubber is used in cars for hoses, tires, and other things, but to have the car made of it just is not practical.
