Many are made from leather, which is one of many natural polymers that were around before we ever started making them. This running shoe has panels made of leather, and also of nylon. The sole is made out of a hard rubber called SBS rubber. A lot of the same stuff goes into these hiking boots, including padding made from polyurethane foam. Even shoe laces are made from polymers, like nylon and cotton. Cotton is a form of a natural polymer called cellulose. 二、Clothing shop Just take a stroll through here, and youll realize that without polymers, youd have no clothes at all!! The polymers in clothes can be everything from plant materials, to synthetics, to proteins like silk and wool. The one thing that most of the polymers in clothes have in common is that they are fibers. 三、Auto parts store A lot of auto body parts are made out of polymer like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic, called ABS for short. Using ABS plastic in body parts makes cars lighter so they use less gas and pollute less. This front bumper is so light that you can lift it with one hand! As long as there have been cars, they have needed tires. This tire is made of three kinds of rubber! Keeping your windshield clear during a rainstorm is the job of this windshield wiper, and its blade is made from a rubber called polyisoprene. Headlights can have lenses made from polycarbonate, the same clear stuff used to make CDs! This hose is made from a rubber called polybutadiene. This kind of rubber can stand cold temperatures better than other kinds of rubber. This is important if youre driving your car in cold winter. so you can see that there is no speed without polymers. In fact, there would be no cars at all without polymers. 四、Polymer in other places Skateboard，swimming applications，Musical instrument shop，music instruments，music records，Toys，
