Abstract
The entropy change for the stretching of rubber is calculated by statistical methods, neglecting intermolecular attractions and deformation of bonds and bond angles. The calculation involves the probability of finding the system with a given distribution of molecular configurations. An equation of state relating the tension, length, and temperature of a rubber band is then derived. Following this a discussion of the applicability and the limitations of the theory is presented.Keywords
