Hey !!
Elastomers are the polymers having the weakest intermolecular forces of attaction between the polymer chains. The weak forces permit the polymer to be strectched. A few ''cross links'' are introduced in between the chains, which help the polymer to retract to its orginnal position after the force is released as in vulcanised rubber. Elastomers thus possess an elastic character.
Example :- Buna - N , Buna - S , Neoprene etc.
