Abstract The strength and extensibility of an elastomer depend on its overall viscoelastic properties, as reflected in the time and temperature dependence of stress-strain curves, and also on those discrete processes, including crack formation and growth, that culminate in high-speed crack propagation. The discrete processes determine the lifetime of a specimen; the viscoelastic characteristics affect the dependence of stress on deformation. The interplay between these effects causes strength and extensibility to depend strongly on test conditions. An elastomeric network composed solely of highly mobile chains is very weak indeed and fractures at a low elongation. This characteristic differs diametrically from that expected of an idealized network of mobile chains. If such a network were stretched, stress concentrations and unbalanced forces at the molecular level, which can result from short chains, entanglements, and network imperfections, would be vitiated rapidly by stress-biased segmental diffusion, ...
