Rubber
What is rubber? From latex to elastic polymer
Rubber is a polymer typically made from latex from rubber trees, but it can also be manufactured synthetically. It is an elastic material that can be stretched and then return to its original shape, making it ideal for applications requiring flexibility and resistance to deformation. Rubber also has good properties for insulation, sealing, and dampening vibrations and sound.
