RUBBERS ARE POLYMERIC MATERIALS ENDOWED WITH THE PROPERTIES OF FLEXIBILITY AND EXTENSIBILITY: WITH THE APPLICATION OF FORCE, THE MOLECULES STRAIGHTEN OUT IN THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THEY ARE BEING PULLED; ON RELEASE FROM BEING EXTENDED, THEY SPONTANEOUSLY RECOVER THEIR NORMAL, RANDOM ARRANGEMENTS. RUBBERS INCLUDE NATURAL RUBBERS (NRS) AND SYNTHETIC RUBBERS (SRS)

RUBBER

NATURAL RUBBER

SYNTHETIC RUBBER

NATURAL RUBBER IS A NATURALLY OCCURRING SUBSTANCE OBTAINED FROM THE EXUDATIONS OF CERTAIN TROPICAL PLANTS SYNTHETIC RUBBER IS ARTIFICIALLY DERIVED FROM PETROCHEMICAL PRODUCTS

USES
BUILDING MATERIAL TRANSPORTATION SECTOR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR MEDICAL SECTOR
NATURAL RUBBER, ALSO CALLED INDIA RUBBER OR CAOUTCHOUC,
IS AN ELASTOMER (AN ELASTIC HYDROCARBON POLYMER) THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DERIVED FROM LATEX, A MILKY COLLOID PRODUCED BY SOME PLANTS. THE PLANTS WOULD BE TAPPED, THAT IS, AN INCISION MADE INTO THE BARK OF THE TREE AND THE STICKY, MILK COLORED LATEX SAP COLLECTED AND REFINED INTO A USABLE RUBBER.

SYNTHETIC RUBBER IS ANY TYPE OF ARTIFICIAL ELASTOMER

INVARIABLY A POLYMER. AN ELASTOMER IS A MATERIAL WITH THE MECHANICAL (OR MATERIAL) PROPERTY THAT IT CAN UNDERGO MUCH MORE ELASTIC DEFORMATION UNDER STRESS THAN MOST MATERIALS AND STILL RETURN TO ITS PREVIOUS SIZE WITHOUT PERMANENT DEFORMATION. SYNTHETIC RUBBER SERVES AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR NATURAL RUBBER IN MANY CASES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IMPROVED MATERIAL PROPERTIES ARE REQUIRED.

COMPOSITION, TYPES, AND PROPERTIES OF NATURAL RUBBER

NATURAL RUBBER IS OBTAINED FROM THE SAP ("LATEX") OF SEVERAL RUBBER-YIELDING PLANTS (E.G., HEVEA BRASILIENSIS AND PARTHENIA ARGENTATUM) BY COAGULATION WITH CHEMICALS, DRYING, ELECTRICAL COAGULATION, AND OTHER PROCESSES.
THE RUBBER PRODUCED FROM LATEX CONTAINS, BESIDES THE HYDROCARBON, RELATIVELY SMALL QUANTITIES OF PROTEIN, CARBOHYDRATES, RESIN-LIKE SUBSTANCES, MINERAL SALTS, AND FATTY ACIDS.

STRUCTURE OF NATURAL RUBBER

COMPOSITION OF LATEX

- Rubber is a long chain of polyene - Its main functional group is C=C group - Other functional groups are COOH, COOR,NH2 ,C=O,O-H,C-C group

BECAUSE OF ITS ELASTICITY, RESILIENCE, AND TOUGHNESS, NATURAL RUBBER (NR) IS THE BASIC CONSTITUENT OF MANY PRODUCTS USED IN THE TRANSPORTATION, INDUSTRIAL, CONSUMER, HYGIENIC AND MEDICAL SECTORS

TYPES OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER

As is clear from the above discussion, there are about twenty different types of chemicals used for making different synthetic rubber varities. It is obvious that there are different synthetic rubber kinds. Some of the popular synthetic rubber types include the following.

STRUCTURE OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER

Acrylic Rubber (ACM) Butadiene Rubber (BR) Butyl Rubber (IIR) Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM)/ Hypalon Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Fluoroelastomers (FKM)/ Viton Isoprene Rubber (IR) Nitrile Rubber (NBR) Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) Polychloroprene (CR)/ Neoprene Polysulfide Rubber (PSR) Silicone Rubber (SiR) Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR

- pyrolysis: reaction of natural rubber and Guttapercha, forming a synthetic rubber 2-methylbuta-1,3diene (isoprene) - the functional group of isoprene is C=C group - other functional groups is C-C group

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
SYNTHETIC RUBBER Comparatively hard and non-sticky High tensile strength and very strong High elasticity Can be used over a wide range of temperature from -40 to 100 degrees centigrade High abrasion resistance Absorbs a small amount of water
