elastomer

The rubber like seal on the end of the plunger is made of a thermoplastic elastomer.

It's not clear what an eraser is for beyond removing pencil traces from a paper, or any purpose benefiting from a small block of rubber/elastomer.

While this is possible, it would create stress concentrations within the elastomer and could significantly affect its durability.

Scientific studies have also failed to show any difference between rodents' tendencies to chew elastomer wiring and bioplastic wiring.

In the future these heavy, bulky, and expensive components could be replaced by a dielectric elastomer membrane.

They'll happily sell you a basic watch with a nice elastomer band for a few hundred bucks.

They could probably double their resolution with an IR sensor under the keys, transparent elastomer, and IR-transparent plastic for keys.

As for the security question, the capacitive touch points are embedded in a low capacitance elastomer, so physical duplication (e.g.

Teflon is not rubber, but viton is fluorinated elastomer, and it's used everywhere as well.

Edit: Just looked it up and the plunger is made out of thermoplastic elastomer (food grade) Edit2: Found a discussion about a glass aeropress and there would be a couple of drawbacks.

Or maybe you're making mugs out of food-grade silicone elastomer instead of ceramic.

I have a feeling the elastomer bracelets will come in at $50 and the metal/leather ones will be $100.

There is a decent chance that PDC and elastomer-free motor assemblies will see longer runs at deep depths because the rock is more ductile." I have no background in energy at all, so I'm not qualified to comment on this at all.

It’s in the article, they’re desoldered and reballed like normal and then socketed: “What makes the attack possible, he said, is something called a conductive elastomer IC test socket.” The cryogenic pick and place robot then moves the now-socketed chip from the board to the test fixture at runtime.
