Abstract

The relative charge of the internal energy, fU/f, during deformation of cross-linked elastomers, poly(ethylene-co-propylene) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate), was determined at various temperatures. Anomalies in the dependence of fU/f on relative dilatation in the region of small deformations ( 35%) are to a large extent besides other factors due to the sensibility of the formula used to calculate fU/f to temperature changes.
