Abstract

Abstract A new equation for the volume dilation accompanying rubber extension is obtained from a reinterpretation of the kinetic theory equation for rubber elasticity. This equation is shown to describe published volume-extension data better than either that derived from simple kinetic theory or that derived from the Mooney-Rivlin equation.
