Abstract
The process of chemical stress relaxation in elastomers is examined in some detail. It is predicted that in some cases it will be possible to determine the location of the chemical bond broken. The special cases of relaxation due to scission of cross links and random scission of the polymer are calculated. The shapes of the stress vs time curves are widely different.Keywords
