When Japan invaded Southeast Asia in 1942 and supplies of natural rubber were cut off, chemists at both Dow Corning and General Electric independently created this material using a combination of borax and silicone oil. They found that in some ways this material does mimic rubber: if you roll it into a ball and throw it against the floor it will bounce. However this material has a strange mix of elastic and liquid behaviour that is described as non-Newtonian, characterising materials like blood, ketchup and toothpaste that flow as liquids when left to their own devices but harden to become brittle solids if you apply a lot of force to them over a short period of time.
