Abstract

Simplified models of flexible chain and stiff fiber networks are introduced to address how the network elasticity becomes modified when the cross-linking is thermoreversible in nature and changes in the stability of the network with deformation. These idealized models apparently able to capture many aspects of the elastic properties of real networks.
