Zusammenfassung:A method of producing an elastic material including providing a viscous m aterial having an initial material composition thereof, the viscous material being a multiphase dispersion comprising a plurality of discrete elements o f a first component dispersed within a continuous fluid phase of a second co mponent; and applying stress to the plurality of discrete elements of the fi rst component to break up the plurality of discrete elements into a second p lurality of discrete elements having a greater number of discrete elements t han the first plurality of discrete elements. The discrete elements of the s econd plurality of discrete elements have at least one of a composition or a surface layer that provides at least a repulsion between adjacent discrete elements to prevent the discrete elements from irreversibly coalescing or ir reversibly re-uniting, the viscous material thus irreversibly becoming an el astic material having a same material composition as the initial material co mposition.
