The difference between the vapour pressure of solvent above swollen crosslinked polyurethanes and that above linear polyurethane solutions has been determined experimentally. Comparison of the data over a range of volume fractions of solvent has enabled an estimate to be made of the factor B/A, the

β¦ Synopsis
The equation of rubber elasticity has been applied to the dynamic shear modulus of styreneunsaturated polyester networks. Due to the non-ideal nature of the networks, the apparent front factor approached the theoretical value of 0.5 only when the crosslink density was low. At higher crosslink densities, it has been found that either the non-Gaussian theory of Smith or the steric interaction approach of Blanchard and Wooton satisfactorily describes the results.

## Abstract The existence of a discontinuity in the modulus of rubber as the strain transitions from compression to extension is strongly suggested by multiple experiments. Classical rubber elasticity theories, however, do not admit such behavior. Here, we investigate a modification of the assumpti
