The Flory theory of rubber elasticity suggests that rubber elasticity has primarily entropic origins. By using the following basic equations for Helmholtz free energy and its discussion about entropy, the force generated from the deformation of a rubber chain from its original unstretched conformation can be derived.
Professor Leslie Ronald George Treloar, OBE (30 July 1906 [1] – 18 March 1985) was a leading figure in the science of rubber and elasticity, [2] and writer of a number of influential texts. Leslie Treloar graduated in Physics from University College, Reading , in 1927 and subsequently joined GEC .
The Gent hyperelastic material model [1] is a phenomenological model of rubber elasticity that is based on the concept of limiting chain extensibility. In this model, the strain energy density function is designed such that it has a singularity when the first invariant of the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor reaches a limiting value .
The polynomial hyperelastic material model is a phenomenological model of rubber elasticity. In this model, the strain energy density function is of the form of a polynomial in the two invariants , of the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor. The strain energy density function for the polynomial model is
In continuum mechanics, an Arruda–Boyce model [1] is a hyperelastic constitutive model used to describe the mechanical behavior of rubber and other polymeric substances. This model is based on the statistical mechanics of a material with a cubic representative volume element containing eight chains along the diagonal directions.

The SI unit for elasticity and the elastic modulus is the pascal (Pa). This unit is defined as force per unit area, generally a measurement of pressure , which in mechanics corresponds to stress . The pascal and therefore elasticity have the dimension L −1 ⋅M⋅T −2 .
