(N/A) Elastomers are materials that can be stretched to a large extent and return to their original shape and size upon the removal of the stretching force. These materials exhibit a large elastic region in their stress-strain curve.
Examples of elastomers include:
$1$. Rubber (e.g.,vulcanized rubber).
$2$. Tissue of the aorta (the large tube carrying blood from the heart).
$3$. Elastin (a protein in connective tissue).
