Rubber


Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon which occurs as a milky collodial suspension (known as latex) in the sap of several varieties of plants. Rubber can also be produced synthetically.
synthetic rubber is made through the polymerization of a variety of monomers to produce polymers. These form part of a broad study covered by polymer science and rubber technology. Its scientific name is polyisoprene.
Rubber has many uses. Most industrial uses are in vibration control and dampening used in automotive components such as stabilizer bushings, jounce bumpers, and motor mounts. Rubber is also used to dampen blows from interlocking equipment and creating seals.
