Balloons, like greeting cards or flowers, are given for special occasions. A balloon is a flexible bag normally filled with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide or air.

Modern balloons can be made from materials such as rubber, latex, chloroprene or a nylon fabric. The modern balloon was invented by Michael Faraday in the 1800s, but mass production did not occur until the 1930s.

The rubber allows for elasticity which makes the volume adjustable. Most of this rubber is made from recycled material, such as old tires and tennis shoes.
Filling with air is done with the mouth, with a manual or electric inflator (such as a hand pump) or a source of compressed air.
When rubber balloons are filled with helium so that they float they can hold their lift for only a short time depending on the size of the balloon, the time can vary from 18 hours to several days. The enclosed helium atoms escape through small pores in the latex which are larger than the helium atoms. Balloons filled with air can hold their size and shape much longer.
Even a perfect rubber membrane eventually loses the gas to the outside. The process by which a substance or solute migrates from a region of high conce..."
