It is argued that since statistical mechanics has developed in two ways, the dynamical approach of Boltzmann and the equilibrium approach of Gibbs, both should be valuable in rubber elasticity. It is shown that this is indeed the case, and the generality of these approaches allows one to study the problem in greater depth than hitherto. In particular, damping terms in the elastic behaviour of rubber can be calculated, and also the effect of entanglements and excluded volume on the equation of state. It is noticeable that although the calculated equations of state are quite complex, they do not fit into a simple pattern of invariants. The future for these developments is briefly discussed.

Based on a recent study of the statistical mechanical properties of the q-modified boson oscillators, we develop the statistical mechanics of the q-modified boson gas, in particular the Grand Partition Function. We derive the various thermodynamic functions for the q-boson gas including the entropy, pressure and specific heat. We demonstrate that the gas exhibits a phase transition analogous to ordinary bose condensation. We derive the equation of state and develop the virial expansion for the equation of state. Several interesting properties of the q-boson gas are derived and compared with those of the ordinary boson which may point to the physical relevance of such systems.
