Abstract
Rubbers are polymers whose glass transition temperatures lie below the application temperature. Soft rubbers are lightly chemically cross-linked and hard rubbers are strongly chemically cross-linked. Elastoplasts are polymers which are physically cross-linked at the application temperature, but they can be worked like thermoplasts at higher temperatures.
