Abstract
The theory of strength proposed above appears to describe satisfactorily the effect of crosslinking on the strength of amorphous elastomers, and to apply semiquantitatively to crystallizable elastomers. Further work, involving the effect of primary molecular weight, constitution, swelling, and additives is required to substantiate the general applicability of the theory. The mechanism of rupture, in particular, is poorly understood.
