elastomers are rubber-like substances with natural properties which can be stretched to at least twice or three times its original length and which, upon release of the stress, will immediately return to its original length. Synthetic elastomers have identical properties and are even better than the natural ones.

The term elastomer is often used interchangeably with the term rubber, and is preferred when referring to vulcanisates. Elastomer comes from two terms, elastic (describing the ability of a material to return to its original shape when a load is removed) and mer (from polymer, in which poly means many and mer means parts). Each link of the chain is the "-mer" or basic unit that is usually made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and/or silicon.
