Rubber is considered nonpolar. Dipole moments are not possible in rubber due to its molecules' similar charges, and it is not soluble in water.
Nonpolar
Silicone rubber is generally considered to be nonpolar. Its molecular structure, which includes silicon-oxygen bonds, leads to a low polarity, making it hydrophobic and resistant to water absorption. This nonpolar characteristic contributes to silicone rubber's excellent flexibility, durability, and thermal stability.

This nonpolar characteristic contributes to silicone rubber's excellent flexibility, durability, and thermal stability.
The polarity of rubber is determined by the presence or absence of polar functional groups in its molecular structure. These functional groups can create regions of uneven charge distribution within the molecule, resulting in a polar nature. Rubber, being a nonpolar polymer made mostly of carbon and hydrogen atoms, is generally considered nonpolar.

Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
