Solution

Elastomers (rubber) are held together by weak intermolecular forces like van dar Wall's forces. Fiber molecules are held together by strong forces.Intermolecular forces between thermo polymer molecules are stronger than elastomers but weaker than fibers. Thermosetting polymers have strong cross links and 3D network of covalently bonded atoms.
