Table tennis rubber is a type of rubber used as covering on a racket in table tennis. [1] Modern table tennis rubber is usually composed of two layers: a layer of foam ("sponge") underneath and a layer of actual rubber on the surface. [2] There are four common types of table tennis rubbers: short pips, long pips, antispin, and inverted. [1]
Because of their solvent resistance, these materials find use as sealants to fill the joints in pavement, automotive window glass, and aircraft structures. Polymers containing one or two sulfur atoms separated by hydrocarbon sequences are usually not classified polysulfides, e.g. poly( p -phenylene) sulfide (C 6 H 4 S) n .

Sodium polysulfide is a general term for salts with the formula Na 2 S x, where x = 2 to 5. The species S x 2−, called polysulfide anions, include disulfide (S 2 2−), trisulfide (S 3 2−), tetrasulfide (S 4 2−), and pentasulfide (S 5 2−).
In 1838, Swiss chemists reported the preparation of hydrophobic rubbery materials by the alkylation of sodium polysulfide with 1,2-dichloroethane. [2] In 1926 chemists Joseph C. Patrick and Nathan Mnookin further developed this class of materials, which first achieved commercial success as sealants for fuel lines, exploiting the solvent resistance of these materials.
Table tennis is unique among racket sports in that it supports a wide variety of playing styles and methods of gripping the racket, at even the highest levels of play. This article describes some of the most common table tennis grips and playing styles seen in competitive play. The playing styles listed in this article are broad categories with ...
Sweden's Truls Möregårdh pulled off the upset of the 2024 Paris Olympics after he defeated China's Wang Chuqin, the top-ranked table tennis player in the world, in men's singles action on Wednesday.
Table tennis racket Also known as a paddle or bat, is used by table tennis players. The table tennis racket is usually made from laminated wood covered with rubber on one or two sides depending on the player's grip. The USA generally uses the term "paddle" while Europeans and Asians use the term "bat" and the official ITTF term is "racket". [17]
