“Elastomeric engineering materials used in high voltage devices”

Elastomers can undergo elongation to several hundred times from their original length. Vulcanization of elastomers impart high strength and greater elastic deformation. A Vulcanized rubber is a thermoset polymer as it cannot be reprocessed due to the presence of crosslinks in it. Resilience or bouncling property of elastomers is due to its property of recoverable elastic deformation when it is subjected to loads.
