Part II. Mechanical Properties of Polymers
Chapter 5. The nature of rubber elasticity
• In 1805, Gough found that the length of rubber sample held under constant tension decreased as its temperature was increased and demonstrated that heat was evolved as a result of adiabatic extension.
• Until 1930, by that time the macromolecular character of the rubber molecules was completely accepted, the theory of rubber elasticity became possible to develope.
• The rubber specimendeparted from the Hooke’s law over such as an enormous range of extensions.
