Rubber elasticity of realizable ideal networks

The rubber elasticity of four types of defectless crystalline-like networks has been investigated by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to test the validity of Kuhn’s affine network theory of rubber elasticity. The shear moduli of the realizable ideal networks are obtained through their u...
