BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What Gives a Rubber Band its Elasticity?
LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, February 18 /PRNewswire/ -- If you stretch a rubber band and then release it, it snaps back into its
original shape. As you probably know, rubber has elastic properties, which is
why its also called an elastomer. However, the natural state of caoutchouc,
or raw rubber, is exactly the opposite of elastic. It's plastic, which means
that itcan be shaped and formed like putty. In entertaining episodes our
Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in
our everyday life.
