What are synthetic materials?
Materials created by scientific processes, usually as substitutes for scarce or expensive natural materials. For example, nylon was developed as a substitute for silk (spun by silkworms), and synthetic rubber for natural latex (from trees).
How does rubber help society?
Synthetic rubber is necessary in society for many things, including car tires, dampeners, hoses, matting, and countless other products. Synthetic rubber can replace natural rubber because it is made through the polymerization process of petroleum-based products.
What are the good and bad effects of synthetic products?
Synthetic products just like natural products can be good, bad, toxic or even lethal. A synthesized product can be made in such a way that it does not differ from its natural counterpart. The question is weird in that sense.
What is the symbol of rubber?
If the question is in regard to the chemical symbol of rubber, rubber does not have a chemical symbol. This is because rubber is a chemical compound rather than a single chemical element. Many rubber compounds are hydrocarbons (composed of carbon and hydrogen), and there are many, many different rubber compounds. A general division of rubbers is that between natural rubber and synthetic rubber, and these have been developed over years to suit a wide variety of applications.
What material are therabands made of?
Most of them are rubber latex. There's also a latex-free option made of synthetic rubber.
What best describes synthetic rubber?
Synthetic rubber is a man-made material that functions like natural rubber. Synthetic rubber is made with petroleum, which gives it multiple advantages over natural rubber.
Why does natural and synthetic rubber have different properties?
because humans cannot make synthetic rubber exactly the same as natural rubber.
Is rubber a synthetic?
rubbers is natural
Is rubber an element?
no, both natural and synthetic rubber are polymers
How is synthetic rubber like natural rubber?
they are elastic and stretchy
Is natural rubber is a protein?
No nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber 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.
Is a natural rubber more elastic than a synthetic rubber?
Yes, natural rubber is generally more elastic than synthetic rubber due to its molecular structure, which allows it to stretch and return to its original shape more easily. Synthetic rubbers may have other desirable properties, such as chemical resistance or durability, but they often have less elasticity compared to natural rubber.
What statement best describes synthetic rubber?
Synthetic rubber is a man-made material that functions like natural rubber. Synthetic rubber is made with petroleum, which gives it multiple advantages over natural rubber.
What are disadvantages of synthetic rubber?
Some disadvantages of synthetic rubber include a higher cost compared to natural rubber, potential environmental impact during production, and the inability to biodegrade as easily as natural rubber. Additionally, some synthetic rubbers may not have the same elasticity or durability as natural rubber.
Where can you find rubber in home?
The rubber that comes from oil is called 'synthetic rubber'. The rubber that comes from trees is called 'natural rubber'.
What is the definition of elastomers?
A type of natural or synthetic rubber. (OED)
