- Natural rubber - Wikipedia
Rubber, also called India rubber, latex, Amazonian rubber, caucho, or caoutchouc, [1] as initially produced, consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds Types of polyisoprene that are used as natural rubbers are classified as elastomers

rubber, elastic substance obtained from the exudations of certain tropical plants (natural rubber) or derived from petroleum and natural gas (synthetic rubber)
- Rubber Types: Classifications, Properties, Manufacturing . . .
Rubber, a versatile polymeric material derived from latex, demonstrates unique flexibility and elasticity that make it useful across many industries There are various types, including natural rubber derived from rubber trees and synthetic rubber engineered for enhanced properties
- What is Rubber? The Facts and the Properties of Rubber
Rubber is an elastomer that is derived from the latex that is found in the tree Hevea brasiliensis —the Para rubber tree—mostly found in tropic regions such as South America (Brazil) and Southeast Asia (Malaysia, India, Thailand, and Indonesia)
