élastomère : [Ce terme] est utilisé depuis quelques années pour désigner d'une façon générale tous les «caoutchoucs», c'est-à-dire les substances macromoléculaires possédant l'élasticité caoutchoutique. Le premier des élastomères a été le caoutchouc naturel, et des raisons variées, tant de curiosité scientifique que d'intérêt pratique ou économique, ont conduit à fabriquer par synthèse des matériaux capables de le remplacer. De nombreux caoutchoucs synthétiques ont ainsi progressivement été créés, et de nouveaux types apparaissent sans cesse. Du fait des différences que présente leur constitution chimique par rapport à celle du caoutchouc naturel, on préfère les appeler élastomères. 4, record 3, French, - %C3%A9lastom%C3%A8re
