Elastomers can extend upto
A.
five times their original dimensions
B.
seven times their original dimensions
C.
ten times their original dimensions
D.
three times their original dimensions
Correct answer is C
Elastomers are a type of polymer that are known for their ability to stretch and deform under stress and then return to their original shape when the stress is removed. This property, called elasticity, is what gives elastomers their name. Elastomers can stretch to great lengths, often up to ten times their original dimensions, without breaking or permanently deforming. This makes them useful in a variety of applications, such as seals, gaskets, and shock absorbers, where a flexible and durable material is needed.
