elastomeric properties

Elastomeric properties refer to a material's ability to stretch and return to its original shape after deformation. These materials, called elastomers, are highly elastic and flexible, allowing them to absorb and dissipate energy without permanent deformation. Common examples include rubber and silicone. Their elasticity results from their unique molecular structure, which allows chains of molecules to stretch and then snap back when released. This makes elastomers ideal for applications requiring durability, flexibility, and resilience, such as seals, gaskets, and flexible tubing.
