Some Aspects of Rubberlike Elasticity Useful in Teaching Basic Concepts in Physical Chemistry.
Mark, J. E.
Journal of Chemical Education, v79 n12 p1437-43 Dec 2002
Explains the benefits of including polymer topics in both graduate and undergraduate physical chemistry courses. Provides examples of how to use rubberlike elasticity to demonstrate some of the general and thermodynamic concepts including equations of state, Carnot cycles and mechanochemistry, gel collapse, energy storage and hysteresis, and molecular origins of the elasticities of some types of materials.
