Present status of the rubber elasticity theory
TL;DR: The development of the rubber elasticity theory is reviewed in this paper, with particular emphasis on the recent generalization of the elastic equation of state to the case where the chains display changes in internal energy with change in conformation and to the correlation between the elastic behavior of a crosslinked amorphous polymer and its dilute solution properties.

Determination of Relaxation Spectra from Damping Measurements
F C Roesler,J R A Pearson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the determination of the relaxation spectrum from the data furnished by dynamical experiments, and in particular from the damping (imaginary part of the complex modulus) as a function of frequency, is presented.
