Abstract

The fractal theory of elasticity and rubber-like state has been derived on the base of conceptions of the scale invariant character of the polymer structure. The theoretical relation between the strain and stress F(λ) coincides with experimental data in all the λ range without any additional parameters. For the infinitely small strains |λ - 1| ≪ 1 the derived F(λ) expression transits into classic generalized Guck law.
