Natural rubber is produced from the latex found in rubber trees, which is extracted through tapping the tree in the early morning. It is a polymer, a chemical compound made up of larger molecules composed of smaller molecules. The manufacturing process includes kneading, mixing, and shaping before being used in important industries. Famous scientist Faraday discovered that natural rubber is made up of only carbon and hydrogen, and can be returned to its previous shape and size under pressure. Synthetic rubber is a flexible material that can regain its original shape without any change in its mechanical properties.
