Explanation

macromolecule materials that shows high elasticity (or rubber elasticity) at service temperature. Generally, the glass transition temperature of such substances is lower than room temperature, which can cause a large reversible deformation under stress. It can be divided into two categories based on its source: natural and synthetic. It is naturally prepared by extracting gum from trees, grass and other plants and subsequent vulcanization processing; The synthesis is made from polymer obtained by polymerization of various monomer through subsequent vulcanization processing. The molecular chain network structure formed after crosslinking makes it have the ability to recover quickly when deformed by external force. Widely used in the manufacturing of tires, rubber hoses, gaskets, cables, and other various products, it is an important industrial basic raw material.
