There are two types of elastomeric materials, i.e., covalently crosslinked systems (vulcanizates) and thermally reversible systems such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). The analysis of pre–gels was found to be a technique for the characterization of the former. Some results on the network systems are described which include sulfur– and moisture–cured rubbers, filled vulcanizates, a few exotic TPEs, and new hybrid network systems.
