elativin
Elativin is a hypothetical polymer widely used in theoretical discussions of viscoelasticity and dynamic networks. It serves as a placeholder in models to explore how molecular mobility affects macroscopic properties such as stiffness, damping, and recovery after deformation.
In the standard model, elativin consists of a three-dimensional cross-linked network with reversible bonds that can
Synthesis and experimental realization: elativin has not been reported as an actual material; it appears primarily
Applications and significance: as a teaching tool, elativin helps illustrate tradeoffs in material design, such as
