Elastomere
Kunststoff, der sich nahezu ideal elastisch verhält: Bei Einwirkung einer Kraft verformt sich ein Gegenstand, bei Nachlassen der Kraft nimmt der Gegenstand genau die Ursprungsform wieder ein. Die Zeit der Krafteinwirkung spielt beim ideal elastischen Verhalten keine Rolle, wohl aber die Temperatur.
Elastomers
Polymers that exhibit almost perfectly elastic behavior, i.e. they deform when acted upon by an external force and return to their exact original shape when the force is removed. While the duration of the force has no effect on perfectly elastic behavior, the temperature does.
