Abstract
AbstractThe stress‐strain behavior of three elastomers prepared from polyoxypropylene glycols has been examined, and the components of the elastic retractile force have been derived for one of the polymers. The data are used as a basis for interpretation of the swelling equilibrium behavior reported in the previous paper (Part III). The swelling volume ratios for the elastomers swollen in nonpolar solvents are related to the retractile forces at a given elongation in the manner expected theoretically. The degree of crosslinkage as determined by the number of elastic elements per cubic centimeter is discussed in relation to the retractile force and equilibrium swelling measurements.
