    THE ELASTICITY OF RUBBERSJK (T) LADANG BLUE VALLEY CAMERON

    HIGHLANDS, 39007

    1.0 Objective

    Rubber is an example of a natural polymer. The chains of molecules in rubber

    have a natural elasticity: they can stretch when pulled. When the pulling force is removed, the

    elastic polymers in rubber spring back to their original length. A polymer with elastic

    properties like this is sometimes called an elastomeric. The molecular chains of an

    elastomeric basically act like springs. When a rubber band is stretched out, there are not as

    many ways the individual molecules can arrange themselves as they are when the rubber

    band is not stretched. They have to be lined up. These links between the chains are called

    cross links. f too much force is applied these cross links will break and the rubber band will

    snap.

    When there are more ways to arrange the molecules, the entropy is higher.

    When a rubber band is stretched, entropy dictates that the rubber band will want to contract

    again. When the temperature is higher, the molecules are more excited, and want even more

    to be in a random state. This makes the rubber band easier to stretch out. At a constant

    temperature, a rubber band obeys !ooke"s #aw: The force, f $ % &'( % (o) where & is a

    constant, '( % (o) is the elongation and the sign in negative because the force is in the

    direction opposite to the extension. That is the force, f, is trying to pull the rubber band back

    to its e*uilibrium length, (o.

    While experimenting, we have to keep in mind the different variables involvedin the range of elasticity of the rubber band. +ulcaniation of the rubber will allow it to be

    stretched further without breaking '-- /001). 2y making sure the water level is a constant

    variable we will be able to tell how dependent the rubber bands elasticity is on the change of

    temperature. When implied force is put on the rubber band an increase and decrease of

    temperature will show its elasticity effect '3c4raw%!ill /005). To preserve the longest life

    span of the rubber band when not using it, it6s best to place it in a refrigerator, where no force

    is put on it. n addition, we must take into account the condition of the rubber band as the

    temperature increases in order to decrease the probability of error. 7Whether a material

    expands or contracts when it is heated can be ascribed to a property of the material called its

    entropy8 '9hakhashiri). sing the theory on entropy in connection with the elasticity of the

    rubber band, it can be said that the higher the temperature the higher the entropy level and

    lower the orderliness of the molecules that make up the rubber. Rubber bands in general

    stretch more in the presence of heat as ;rye states, 7rubber contracts when it gets colder. The

    molecules in the rubber band get closer together. This affects the elasticity

    After gone through all the experiment the end, we found our topic. ven

    though we face a lot of difficulties and problems to measure the elasticity of rubber band yet

    we still able to do so many experiment regarding to this investigation. We spend about five

    weeks to make our new e*uipment to find out the elasticity of rubber band.

    We used hair dryer, bulb, refrigerator, oven and hot water to find out the

    elasticity of rubber. 2ut this way couldn6t give us the accurate result. ven though we didn6t

    feel disappointed but try it again and again. 9o that, we asked for more information regarding

    the elasticity to physic teacher and physic university students . Than only we found some

    idea regarding the measurement e*uipments.

    Then only we found some information regarding the experiment. 9o, we start

    our experiment. To measure elasticity of rubber, we make a very simple device to measure

    elasticity of rubber. 2efore that, we prepare some materials and apparatus for this experiment

    such as 5000ml measuring cylinder '@), rubber band '@) all of the same sie and width,

    thermometer, /00gram hook steel weight '@), different temperature of water '/0 oc, ?0oc, 0oc,

    B0oc and 500oc), electrical cattle '/), permanent marker '/), hook '@), stopwatch, measuring

    tape, lab notebook and graph paper.

    ;inally we able to find the accurate result though the e*uipment we prepared. We not

    only find out the elasticity of rubber with temperature also research about how the mass of

    the load effect the elasticity of load. We also find out how the temperature of a rubber band

    affects the distance it stretches when submersed in water and supporting a constant weight.

    We get more information regarding elasticity of rubber band in many sources such as

    magaine, internet and reference book. Fur teachers also help us in this experiment. They

    teach us the way of writing the log book.

    Fur last problem is the presentation in science fair. We feel fear because this is our

    first time to present in front of genius Eudges like this. 9o that our teacher always gave us

    encourage and teach us the way of presentation. Fur fear also decreases day to day.

    We can"t measure the elasticity of rubber band by our naked eyes. At the same

    time we can"t identify the accurate reading base on the elasticity of rubber band. We can"t use

    some words such as long and short according to the length of rubber. This kind of result will

    be reliability in our experiment device to measure the elasticity of rubber band with accurate

    reading.

    4.2 Aim

    To investigate the relationship between the temperature and elasticity of rubber.

    4.3 Hpothesis

    We believe that, as the temperature of the water increases, the rubber band will

    become more elastic, and therefore it will stretch further. The temperature of the water is the

    independent variable, and the length of the band is the dependent variable. &nowing that the

    rubber bands are made out of natural rubber, we think that they will stretch further under

    warmer temperatures without breaking.

    The elasticity of the rubber band is going to increase as the temperature

    increases in our experiment. lasticity of the rubber band is defined as the maximum length

    the rubber band stretches from its initial length when weight is placed on it. 'Dependent

    +ariable) Temperature is defined as the temperature of the water that the rubber band is

    submerged in 'ndependent +ariable). The type and sie of rubber band and time of rubber

    band submerged in water will be controlled.

    The length of rubber band will increase when the temperature of water is increase.

    10.2 6nference

    Rubber bands are unusual because they are made from loosely%packed chains of atom.

    These long molecules behave in a special way because of a property in physics that we

    call ntropy. ntropy is a way of measuring the amount of disorder in a system. f all the

    chains are neatly lined up in rows, we say that the entropy is high. We even have ways of

    calculating actual numbers for the entropy. 2ut all we need to know here is the messier

    the system, the higher the entropy.

    Avarage Elasticity of Rubber Band

    10.! elationship

    When the temperature of water is increase the elasticity of rubber band also increase.

    10.! "onclusion

    The reading of rubber band length is based on the temperature of water.

    10.% 8iscussion

    The hypothesis was supported by our experiment. The heated rubber bands

    were the most elastic. The rubber bands in freeing water were the opposite, the results

    were consistent, providing a reliable conclusion to the proEect. Thermal expansion caused

    the rubber bands to react as they did. When the rubber bands were heated, the particles

    stretched out, making them more elastic and able to withstand greater force. When froen,

    the particles contracted, adding strength and increasing resistance to force.

    Fur results also showed that the effect temperature had on the elasticity of the

    rubber bands was amplified under more weight. At lower temperatures the difference

    between light and heavy weights was significantly less than the difference between the

    same amounts of weight at higher temperatures.

    9ome of the sources of error were the initial elasticity of the rubber bands.

    After a rubber band was tested at a certain temperature, it could no longer be used.

    Therefore, we had to use different rubber bands every time. To reduce this error we made

    sure that all of the rubber bands had the same initial stretchI however, there is stillpossible error. Another source of error would be the temperature of the water and rubber

    band. t was harder to maintain the same temperature for a period of time. The

    temperature could have fluctuated during our experiment, varying out results.

    f we were to conduct this research again, we would not control the amount of

    weight used to stretch the rubber bands. Jext time, we could make the model so that the

    Temperature could be consistent throughout the measurement process. Also, we would

    use as much weights as it takes for the rubber band to snap. We might try to use different

    types of rubber bands in more temperature values as well.

    The applications of this study at first seem obscure. 2ut, when viewed in

    broad terms, it opens *uestions to how changes in temperature affect specific materials.

    Although the snap of a rubber band is not usually a cause of worry, the collapse of an

    operating bridge is. The experiment also points out the maEor weakness of a rubber band:

    increased entropy with increased temperature.

    Rubber is made of polymers 'long chain molecules). When the elastic band is

    not stretched, these molecules are all tangled up with each other and have no particular

    direction to them, but when you stretch the elastic they all become lined up with one another,

    at least to some extent. The polymer molecules themselves are not stretched, they"re Eust

    aligned differently. To a first approximation there"s no difference in the energyof these two

    different ways of arranging the polymers, but there"s a big difference in the entropy. This Eust

    means that there"s a lot more different ways that the polymers can be arranged in a tangled up

    way than an aligned way. 9o when you release the elastic band, all the polymers are Eiggling

    around at random due to thermal motion, and they tend to lose their alignment, so they go

    back towards the tangled state, and that"s what makes the elastic contract. This is called

    anentropic force.

    Jow, said earlier that there isn"t any difference in energy between thestretched 'aligned) and un%stretched 'tangled) states. 2ut it takes energy to stretch the elastic

    %% you"re doing work to pull the ends apart, against the entropic force that"s trying to pull them

    back together. That energy doesn"t go into stretching the individual polymer molecules, but it

    has to go somewhere,so it ends up as heat. 9ome of this heat will stay in the elastic 'making

    the polymer molecules Eiggle around a bit faster) but some will be transferred to the

    surrounding air, or to your skin.

    The reverse happens when you let the elastic contract. The molecules are Eiggling around at

    random and becoming more and more tangled, which makes them contract. 2ut to contract

    they have to do work on whatever"s holding the ends of the elastic apart. That energy has to

    come from somewhere, so it comes from heat.

    At first this might seem to run against thermodynamics % normally you can"t

    Eust cool something down without heating something else up. 2ut remember that the state

    with the tangled molecules has higher entropy than when they"re aligned. 9o you"re taking

    heat out of the air, which reduces its entropy, but this reduction in entropy is countered by the

    increase in entropy of the elastic itself, so the second law is safe.

    Avarage Elasticity of Rubber Band According To The Load

    11.' 8iscussion

    Rubber has some strange elastic properties. t is a polymer that means that the

    rubber molecules are made of long chains of atoms. When a rubber band is unscratched

    'relaxed state) the molecule chains are all twisted up ';igure 5'a)). As the rubber is

    stretched they begin to untangle themselves as shown in ;igure 5'b).

    ;inally they are all lined up ';igure 5'c)). At this point the rubber changes its

    appearance the surface looks rougher and whiter. At the start it was *uite easy to stretch

    the rubber band but now it becomes much more difficult to stretch. This is because up to

    this point you have simply been untangling the long chain molecules but when the

    molecules are straight they cannot be untangled anymore and what you are now doing is

    trying to actually stretch the molecules themselves.

    Kou may notice that when a rubber band is stretched it gets slightly warmer.

    Kou can test this by taking a rubber band, holding a short length of it, stretching it

    *uickly and then holding it against your lips H it feels warmer. Kou may notice that when

    a rubber band is stretched it gets slightly warmer. Kou can test this by taking a rubber

    band, holding a short length of it, stretching it *uickly and then holding it against your

    lips H it feels warmer. When the rubber band is stretched its molecules get straightened.

    This means a decrease in volume. This causes its temperature to increase Eust

    like an ideal gas, which heats up when it is compressed. f you then let it cool down

    while stretched and release it, it will get colder than room temperature. This is because its

    volume has increased, so the temperature drops Eust like an ideal gas. As the rubber is

    stretched the bonds between adEacent chains are broken. These bonds are relatively weak

    compared with the bonds along each chain molecule.f you stretch a rubber band and record the extension against load and

    carefully take the load off again still recording the extension you can plot a graph like

    that shown in ;igure /.

    To work out the energy of each section you have to find the area under the

    line. This is best done by drawing the graph on a piece of graph paper and then counting

    the s*uares. Kou can observe another very odd effect. 9tretching a rubber band makes it

    get hot H heat energy is lost. Therefore if you put heat energy into a rubber band it will get

    shorter H unlike most materials when they are heated. f you play s*uash you may have

    wondered why the ball becomes much more bouncy after hitting it around for a while.

    This is because it heats up, the air inside the ball also heats up, its pressure increases and it

    becomes harder 'like a well blown up tyre) and so will bounce better.

    Jowadays kids are often going out to play if think of safety. 9o that, Fur first

    valuable innovation is making bow and arrow game using rubber band. &ids can play this

    at home with their siblings. The things that we needed are ice cream stick, rubber band,

    gum, cutter and thread. t is very easy to make and won6t harm the kids. &ids can do it by

    their own self at home. t6s very easy and cheap. This type of game will increase balance

    of kids. The steps are shown in table 5.

    / Take another ice cream stick and paste the Lv6 shape sticks on it.> Gaste another stick on it and make sure it is strong.

    ? nsert the ice cream stick in between and tie used rubber band.

    @ Repeat step ? in another side.

    se thread to tie both end of the ice cream stick.

    1 Jow you can play bow and arrow.
