Popis: | Elasticity in rubber materials depends on different molecular parameters that define the network structure. Crosslinks and entanglements have an effect that is already considered in different ways in the diverse rubber elasticity theories. Different experimental approaches to characterize those parameters are mechanical tests, swelling experiments and more recently double quantum nuclear magnetic resonance (1H DQ-NMR). The analysis of those experiments is based on different assumptions and theoretical approaches, reducing the consistence of the so-obtained results. The main purpose of this work is to unify for the first time those approaches in order to work under just one physical framework as independent as possible from the experiments. This will lead us to a new methodology for the analysis that allows to combine those experimental techniques for a better quantification of structural parameters as crosslink and entanglement density. Moreover, it could set the effect of other important parameters as network defects (dangling chain ends and loops) and spatial distribution of crosslinks (not considered in the rubber elasticity theories) in the physical properties of rubber materials.
