Polymer Network Elasticity

Polymer Network Elasticity is a theoretical construct in polymer physics that characterizes the entropic and enthalpic restoring forces arising from the deformation of a cross-linked polymer network, distinguishing it from linear viscoelastic behavior by its dependence on permanent network connectivity and finite extensibility of polymer chains.
