21. Elastomers are usually thermosets but also may be thermoplastics.22. Compliance is important so that the elastomer is not constrained mechanically when elongated. 23. It is compatible with polypropylene, ethylene propylene rubbers, and thermoplastic elastomers . 24. Thermosets and elastomers are outside of this classification and form their own classes. 25. Uncoated Plastics and Elastomers can be routinely examined, as can uncoated biological samples. 26. Natural rubber is an elastomer and a thermoplastic. 27. The straps are usually made of an elastomer that can sometimes cause hair tangling. 28. Adhesive products, coatings and elastomers are used extensively throughout consumer and industrial applications. 29. This makes silicone rubber one of the elastomers of choice in many extreme environments. 30. The behavior of unfilled, vulcanized elastomers often conforms closely to the hyperelastic ideal.
