## Abstract The earliest investigations on rubber elasticity, commencing in the 19th century, were necessarily limited to phenomenological interpretations. The realisation that polymers consist of very long molecular chains. commencing __c__. 1930, gave impetus to the molecular theory of rubber ela
## Abstract By considering fractal topologies of polymer networks, we show that one can obtain much smaller values of the elastic modulus than predicted by classical models for the same density of crosslinks. In a regular fractal such as the Sierpinski gasket, one can replace the segments joining t
