Definition
• An elastomer is defined as a cross-linked amorphous polymer above its glass transition temperature.
1. Capability for instantaneous and extremely high extensibility
2. Elastic reversibility, i.e., the capability to recover the initial length under low mechanical stresses.when the deforming force is removed.

Defects in crosslinks
04/18/23 4
For the purpose of the theoretical treatments presented here, the elastomer network is assumed to be structurally ideal, i.e., all network chains start and end at a cross-link of the network.

According to the first and second laws of thermodynamics, the internal energy change (dE) in a uniaxially stressed system exchanging heat (dQ) and deformation and pressure volume work (dW) reversibly is given by:
The Gibbs free energy (G) is defined as:

Statistical Approach to the Elasticity
04/18/23 15
Elasticity of a Polymer Chain
relates the entropy to the number of conformations of the chain Ω
![Page 16: Cross-linked Polymers and Rubber Elasticity 5/13/20151](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061515/56649ce55503460f949b2d94/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Entropy of the chain
04/18/23 16
the probability per unit volume, p(x, y, z)
<r2>o represents the mean square end-to-end distance of the chain
The entropy decreases as the end-to-end distance increases
![Page 17: Cross-linked Polymers and Rubber Elasticity 5/13/20151](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061515/56649ce55503460f949b2d94/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The work required for change in length
04/18/23 17
It can be concluded that (1)is proportional to the temperature, so that as T increases the force needed to keep the chain with a certain value of r increases, and (2)the force is linearly elastic, i.e., proportional to r.

Assumptions
04/18/23 19
l. The network is made up of N chains per unit volume. 2. The network has no defects, that is, all the chains are joined by both
ends to different cross-links. 3. The network is considered to be made up of freely jointed chains,
which obey Gaussian statistics. 4. In the deformed and undeformed states, each cross-link is located
at a fixed mean position. 5. The components of the end-to-end distance vector of each chain
change in the same ratio as the corresponding dimensions of the
bulk network. This means that the network undergoes an affine deformation.

When the elastomer is deformed, the fluctuation occurs in an asymmetrical manner. The fluctuations of a chain of the network are independent of the presence of neighbor in chains.

Thermodynamic Verification
04/18/23 44
At small strains, typically less than = L/ L0 < 1.1 (L and L0are the lengths of the stressed and unstressed specimen, respectively), the stress at constant strain decreases with increasing temperature, whereas at λ values greater than 1.1, the stress increases with increasing temperature. This change from a negative to a positive temperature coefficient is referred to as thermoelastic inversion. Joule observed this effect much earlier (1859). The reason for the negative coefficient atsmall strains is the positive thermal expansion and that the curves are obtained at constant length. An increase in temperature causes thermal expansion (increase in L0 and also a corresponding length extension in the perpendicular directions) and consequently a decrease in the true λ at constant L. The effect would not appear if L0 was measured at each temperature and if the curves were taken at constant λ (relating to L0 at the actual temperature). The positive temperature coefficient is typical of entropy-driven elasticity as will be explained in this section.

Thermodynamic Verification
04/18/23 46
The reversible temperature increase that occurs when a rubber band is deformed can be sensed with your lips, for instance. It is simply due to the fact that the internal energy remains relatively unchanged on deformation, i.e. dQ=-dW (when dE=0). Ifwork is performed on the system, then heat is produced leading to an increase in temperature. The temperature increase under adiabatic conditions can be substantial. Natural rubber stretched to λ=5 reaches a temperature, which is 2-5 K higher than thatprior to deformation. When the external force is removed and the specimen returns to its original, unstrained state, an equivalent temperature decrease occurs.
