Abstract

AbstractA fundamental thermodynamical equation is presented for a Gaussian network in an analytically closed form (Gibbs function) for modified and extended network models in a parametric form. With this equation a complete description of the deformation phenomena in rubbers can be made, embracing strain‐dependent effects, related to short‐range properties like thermal expansion, rotational isomerism and rotatory oscillation degrees of freedom.
