Rubber
What is rubber? From latex to elastic polymer
Rubber is a polymer usually 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 that require flexibility and resistance to deformation. Rubber also has good properties when it comes to insulation, sealing, and dampening vibrations and sound.
