## Abstract **Summary:** The mechanisms involved in rubber reinforcement are discussed. A better molecular understanding of these mechanisms can be obtained by combining characterization of the mechanical behavior with an analysis of the chain segmental orientation accompanying deformation. While t

The viscoelastic properties of some polyester-urethanes are compared with the properties of other polymers. The behavior observed is anomalous in that these polyurethanes exhibit an unusually high value of modulus well above their T,, unaccounted for by either crosslinking or crystallinity. Various
Stress relaxation experiments were carried out in a dry nitrogen atmosphere on polydimethylsiloxane and an ethylene-propylene terpolymer. Relaxation times much longer than expected were observed, and plots of In f(t)/f(O) versus time were linear in all cases.
## Abstract It is shown that through a relationship between the Euler characteristic and the cycle rank of polymer networks one has access to a quantitative description of functionality heterogeneity in these fascinating structures. This relationship is applied and extended to study heterogeneous n
