Some paper can be harder than some rubber. There are too many types of both paper and rubber to make a generalisation.

Does sand paper reduce friction?
sand paper increases friction, that is to say that it is harder to slide something on sand paper than it is on a smooth surface.
How do you make a simple physics projectile launcher?
Fold a piece of paper up then get a rubber band. Stretch the rubber band across your fingers and put the paper in the middle. Pull back the paper and let go to watch the paper fly.
How do you make it harder for a balloon to pop?
You deflate it, thus increasing the relative thickness of the rubber.

Why are rubbers made of rubber and can rub out and rubber balls cannot?
Rubber as a compound can be formulated in many ways. In erasers it is made to be stickier to graphite particles from lead pencils than paper so the graphite preferentially sticks to the eraser. The rubber is also soft so the paper abrades it and the graphite containing surface os worn away for disposal. The result is clean paper and rubber/graphite dust. Some very soft erasers for art work are very soft so that no danmage to the paper happens, These can retain the graphite and eventually get quite dirty and have to be discarded as they leave maks rather than remove them. Some erasers contain a bit of abrasive and remove the top layer of the paper as well making them useful for removing inks that penetrate the paper surface. A rubber ball is generally made from a harder and tougher rubber without the stickiness or softness of the eraser. Most modern "rubber" balls are made of chemical polymers which are not really rubber and have to affinity for graphite.
Is birch or rubber harder?
Birch is much harder.

Is plastic harder than rubber?
Yes! Depends which plastic and which rubber you are talking about. It really is quite alarming how people use terms like "Plastic" and "rubber" when there are HUGE numbers of massively different products falling under each category. You wouldn't say "Come round for dinner tonight, we're having 'food' followed by 'food' and then some 'food' for dessert" would you??
Why it is not possible to separate pieces of paper joined by a glue?
It's not possible to separate them because the glue joint is harder than the paper.
Is bitumen a metal?
