If the block lengths are the right size, the two segments are able to separate into two phases. As a result of stronger intermolecular attractions, lengths of chains containing hard segments cluster together, pushing out the soft segments that would otherwise get in the way of these intermolecular attractions. This phenomenon is called microphase separation.

However, there is another approach that converts cyclic alkenes into polymers. This approach is reminiscent of the ring-opening of cyclic esters and amides.

For instance, if a compound has two functional groups of the same kind, it could undergo reaction at two different sites, forming new bonds with two neighbors. The compound thereby becomes enchained in a trio of formerly independent molecules. If the neighboring molecules are also difunctional, then this pattern can repeat, forming a polymer.

The word "elastic" does have an immediate connotation in everyday English, bringing to mind a rubber band that can be stretched, so we think of the stretching part when we hear the word "elastic". However, the returning motion is an essential feature of elastic behavior.
