What is rubber? What is the source of rubber?

Rubber refers to a highly elastic polymer material with reversible deformation, which is elastic at room temperature, can produce large deformation under a small external force, and can be restored to its original state after removing external force. Rubber is a completely amorphous polymer, its glass transition temperature (T g) is low, the molecular weight is often large, greater than hundreds of thousands.

Rubber is divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber two kinds. Natural rubber is processed by extracting gum from plants such as rubber tree and rubber grass. Synthetic rubber is obtained by polymerization of various monomers. Rubber products are widely used in all aspects of industry or life.

The word rubber comes from the Indian word cau-uchu, meaning "weeping tree". Natural rubber is made from the rubber latex that flows out when the rubber is cut by the three-leaf rubber tree after solidification and drying. In 1770, British chemist J. Priestley discovered that rubber could be used to erase pencil writing. At that time, the material used for this purpose was called rubber, a word that has been used ever since.

Because the rubber is elastic and can produce large deformation under the action of a small external force, it can be restored to its original state after removing the external force, so it is very suitable for use as rubber sealing products.
