Why can eraser erase pencil writing?

When you erase the pencil writing with an eraser, the eraser actually absorbs the pencil writing (made of pencil powder) on the paper. As long as you wipe it with an eraser, the pencil writing along the "footprint" of the eraser will disappear. That is, the adsorption force of the eraser to the pencil powder is greater than the adsorption force of the paper to the pencil powder.

The working principle of rubber is to use the force that easily occurs between rubber molecules and other material molecules, and the rubber itself is soft and does not damage the paper. The eraser is made of PVC material, but with the plasticizer ATBC added. Use physical principles to peel handwriting away from the surface of the object on which it is written (excluding correction tape and correction fluid).

Due to the softness and structure of the eraser. In home life, you can use an eraser to remove some stains. For example, to clean computer memory sticks, you can wipe them with a dry and soft eraser. Take an eraser and rub it back and forth on the phone case a few times, so that the dirt on the phone case can be easily removed.
