A strip of elastomer 1 cm×1 cm×10 cm is stretched to 25 cm length at T =25C, a stress of 1.5 MPa being required
(a) Assuming a tetrafunctional crosslinking mode, how many moles of network chains are there per cubic centimeter?
(b) What stress is required to stretch the sample to only 15 cm at T = 25C?
(c) What stress is required to stretch the sample to 25 cm length at 100C?
