When this process occurs, chains of polymers link together to create a latex or rubber substance. styrene and isoprene are two monomers that are needed to make rubber.]]> 2020-10-19 16:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/violet_mcnamara/xu1888osim45kciq/wish/841670129 Napatha/oil violet_mcnamara https://padlet.com/violet_mcnamara/xu1888osim45kciq/wish/841685177  Before the monomers are processed, petroleum is processed to create naphtha. ]]> 2020-10-19 16:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/violet_mcnamara/xu1888osim45kciq/wish/841685177 Ocean organisms violet_mcnamara https://padlet.com/violet_mcnamara/xu1888osim45kciq/wish/841706217 Petroleum oil is made out of these tiny ocean organisms that are in the ground from many years ago.]]> 2020-10-19 16:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/violet_mcnamara/xu1888osim45kciq/wish/841706217 Websites I used for my research violet_mcnamara https://padlet.com/violet_mcnamara/xu1888osim45kciq/wish/841748502 http://seaconcorp.com/post-2/

  • Synthetic rubber has great resistance and it's easy to stick to metals. 
  • Since it's so easy to stick to things it's used for rubber gaskets, seals, or other rubber products.
  •  Synthetic rubber holds up very well in very hot temperatures.

  • During the vulcanization of synthetic rubber, soot is produced. Soot is a harmful particle that is produced when the rubber is made.
  • Many tires are able to be recycled but a lot of them are thrown away and wasted.
