Rubber is a polymer which can stretch and shrink. It occurs naturally and can be synthesized as well. We have been using rubber products since ancient times. But during the 19th century it became a highly useful industrial raw product for various purposes.
Rubber can be divided into following two types based on its origin –
Natural Rubber
Synthetic Rubber
There is a wide variety of synthetic rubber available such as EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, commercial black rubber, SBR (Styrene butadiene rubber), NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), IIR (Isobutylene-isoprene) etc.
Natural rubber is a natural polymer of organic compound isoprene obtained from the bark of tropical and subtropical trees. The milky white fluid which is obtained from trees is called latex. This is the reason natural rubber is also known as latex. Natural rubber is also called India rubber, Amazonian rubber and caucho. Leading producers of natural rubber are Thailand and Indonesia.
Monomer Unit of Natural Rubber – 2-methyl 1,3-butadiene (it is also called isoprene)
Structure of Natural Rubber – It is called polyisoprene or cis-1,4-polyisoprene. Its structure is given below –
Natural rubber or rubber latex is directly collected from plants. Then it is processed for common use by various methods. It is a polymer of 2-methyl 1,3-butadiene (or isoprene).

A common question people ask is: can rubber conduct electricity? The answer depends on the material that is being used. If the rubber material does not contain any conducting electrons, then it will not conduct electricity. Rubber is known to be an insulator because rubber can limit the transfer of electricity. The rubber properties prevent […]
About the Trade War Recent “trade war” talks in American politics have resulted in President Trump electing to impose tariffs on import goods worth an estimated $200 billion from China.
