They sound like a silicone rubber material. These have become quite
popular with some users since they are non-stick and easy to clean.

You need to support them on a baking sheet.

If they are very thin you might check if these are pans or liners. The
couple I have are quite thick and stand up without support.

$5 is very cheap for these.
