2. WHAT IS AN ELASTOMER?
An ELASTOMER is a polymer with pliable plastic material which is an insulator - cooled to a glassy or crystalline phase , can be moulded into different shapes, able to withstand deformation and extreme flexibility.
ELASTOMERS can be made from natural or artificial rubber. They are also thermosets – requiring vulcanization, but may also be thermoplastic (although thermosets are durable. There are also SATURATED (can be cured by vulcanization) and UNSATURATED (cannot be cured).

3. *They are mainly used in automobiles, sports and electronics*
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
It is usually used for many purposed because of its special qualities. Some examples are:
- wheels of skateboards
- soles of tennis shoes
- telephone lines;
- insulation covering speaker cables
*They are mainly used in automobiles, sports and electronics*

4. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Automobile industry- It helps the weight reduction of the car and in other ways like having the properties of resisting petroleum products and many others.
Shoes- A form of elastomer is used in the name of Thermoplastic polyurethanes or (TPU) it helps support the heel of your foot for a lockdown feel so that the heel of your foot doesn't move back and forth.

5. WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF ELASTOMERS?
Unsaturated: | Saturated: - Nitrile Rubber - Silicon Rubber - Butyl Rubber - Polyacrylic Rubber - Styrene-butadiene Rubber - Fluorosilicone Rubber - Polybutadiene - Epichlorohydrin rubber Etc. |

6. WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF ELASTOMERS?
There is actually also another kind of elastomers, but only a few belong to this group:
- Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)
- The proteins, resilin and elastin
- Polysulfide rubber
