Abstract
Rubber-like soft materials can be modeled by the statistical behavior of polymer chains and the network theory within the framework of thermodynamics. For example, the freely jointed chain model describes the deformation behavior of a single chain and the eight-chain network model relates the chain behavior to the macroscopic deformation. The emerging soft hydrogel materials with superior toughness contain additional constituents rather than one...
