1. of, relating to, or made of an elastomer; having the ability to stretch and return to original shape
Usage: technical/materials science; commonly used in polymer chemistry and engineering

Examples

• The elastomeric material in the shoe sole provides comfort and durability.
• Elastomeric polymers are widely used in the manufacture of tires and gaskets.
• The elastomeric properties of rubber make it ideal for sealing applications.
• Engineers selected an elastomeric compound for the flexible joint.
• Elastomeric coatings protect the roof from weathering and UV damage.
• The elastomeric behavior of the polymer allows it to absorb impact without permanent deformation.
