Content of the science animation
: Natural rubber is chemically poly-cis-isoprene which
is formed from the monomer isoprene. It comes from the sap
of the Para rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. Trees are tapped
by making a spiral cut through the bark. The sap is called
latex. It is a white milky liquid. It is a suspension of
tiny particles of rubber in water. These particles can be
separated when acid is added to it and solid rubber is obtained.
Vulcanizing is a process for hardening rubber. The rubber
obtained from the tree is sticky and soft. In vulcanization
process rubber is heated with Sulphur or Sulphur compounds
at a definite temperature for a definite time.
Vulcanizing causes the long molecules to form chemical bonds
that join them side-to-side. The sulfur chains help to align
the polymer chains, so the material does not undergo a permanent
change when stretched but spring back to its original shape
and size when the stress is removed
This treatment converts the soft, sticky mass of rubber
into a hard, tough substance. This process is used in the
manufacturing of tires of vehicles.
