Abstract
It is proposed that, during the deformation of reinforced rubber, the molecules slide along the surface of the filling material, accompanied by breaking of bonds. However, new bonds of similar type are soon formed (reversible breaking of bonds). It is assumed that, in the quiescent state following deformation, the original bonds are eventually restored (disappearance of the Mullins effect); the increase of the entropy is supposed to be the effective source of energy. A model of reinforced rubber is shown in Figure 5.Keywords
