Entropic Elasticity (Rubber Elasticity)
Storyboard
In cross-linked elastomers, elasticity does not come from the binding energy (as in a crystalline solid) but from the loss of conformational entropy when stretching the chains of the network - a mechanism with no analogue in the verticals of previous crystalline solids.
