Summary

Stress-relaxation, creep and stress-strain relations are discussed in terms of pseudo cross-link concept. The decrease of cross-links by the stress or strain leads to an equation similar to the Mooney-Rivlin equation. Viscous flow is also an important factor decreasing the cross-sectional area of the specimen and the chain-extension. Viscosity much decreases with increasing rate of extension and temperature. Filler ingredient plays roles of not only enchancing the chain strain but also providing the pseudo cross-link due to adsorption of the rubber on the filler surface.
