In this chapter, the linear viscoelastic properties of rubber and its dependence on various parameters are described, including crosslink density, chemical structure, and molecular weight, with experimental data principally coming from measurements on a series of well-characterized and fully cured bisphenol-A-based epoxy resins as well as some polybutadienes and fluorinated elastomers. Some nonlinear viscoelastic behavior is discussed. The last section is devoted to a critical assessment of the current trend of research, followed by a review of the complete list of the extraordinary properties exhibited by the components of these polymer blends, and explanation of all of them by the Coupling Model.
