Statistical Thermodynamics of Rubber
Abstract
The entropy change for the stretching of rubber is calculated by statistical methods, neglecting intermolecular attractions and deformation of bonds and bond angles. The calculation involves the probability of finding the system with a given distribution of molecular configurations. An equation of state relating the tension, length, and temperature of a rubber band is then derived. Following this a discussion of the applicability and the limitations of the theory is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
