[[Videos descriptions#What are elastomers ?|video source]]

Elastomers are polymers which displays [[Viscoelasticity|viscoelastic]] properties, they have a larger elastic deformation domain than other polymers, because they are lightly-cross linked.

Incompressible or near-incompressible elastomers can be modeled with an [[Hyperelastic model]].

Often elastomers are termosets, and they have high elongation to break.

Examples : o-rings, rubbers, neoprene, silicon polymers (usually), nitrile gloves

## bonus

```
nitrile, le SBR, l’urethane ou de butyle sont sensiblement plus efficaces que le PMMA, le polyethylene ou le polypropylene.
