Sealing Materials, and Elastomers: An Overview
Elastomers, as sealing materials, encompass various substances for specified applications in seal engineering. Elastomers are dimensionally stable and elastically deformable plastics. A prime example is rubber bands. While they maintain their shape, they also possess elastic characteristics and tensile stress due to an entropic effect (entropy elasticity). Elastomers are cross-linked through covalent bonds between molecule chains (macromolecules), similar to thermosetting plastics. This rubber-like elasticity occurs as the tangled polymer chains respond to tensile stress by stretching or disentangling.
