All the tyres of your cars, bikes and bicycles are made of rubber. The soles of your shoes, slippers, and swimsuits, swimming caps, collars of pet animals, boots, balls, gloves and seals are rubber in different forms.
Birthday celebrations are incomplete without balloons, and guess what? Most of the balloons are made of rubber. The floating tubes that you play with in the swimming pool, rubber bands, mouse mats of computers, airbags… well, the list is endless! Look at the ducting of your cars, refrigerator or washing machine. All of that is rubber. Needless to say, rubber is an important polymer.
