rubber bands

Rubber bands are elastic loops made from flexible rubber material that can stretch under pressure and return to their original shape when released. Their elasticity arises from the rubber's molecular structure, allowing them to deform and store elastic potential energy. Rubber bands are commonly used to hold objects together, as their stretchiness provides a firm grip. They are versatile, inexpensive, and reusable, making them useful in various applications, from office tasks to industrial uses. Their ability to stretch and recover without losing integrity makes them a practical tool for securing or organizing items efficiently.
