elastomerliga
Elastomerliga is a term used to describe a class of polymeric materials that exhibit rubber-like elasticity. These materials are characterized by their ability to deform significantly under stress and return to their original shape once the stress is removed. This unique property arises from the molecular structure of elastomers, which typically consists of long, flexible polymer chains that are cross-linked. The cross-linking prevents the chains from permanently sliding past each other, allowing them to stretch and recoil.
Natural rubber, derived from the latex of rubber trees, is a prime example of an elastomer. Synthetic
The elasticity of elastomers is a result of entropic forces. When stretched, the polymer chains become more
