The strain dependence of the elastic storage modulus of clay-filled NBR has been measured and the results compared with those of unfilled vulcanizates. The corresponding data are shown in Fig. 19. From this figure it is revealed that there is no Payne effect, because the G values do not decrease with the increase in strain... 

Mendelson (169) studied the effect of LCB on the flow properties of polyethylene melts, using two LDPE samples of closely similar M and Mw plus two blends of these. Both zero-shear viscosity and melt elasticity (elastic storage modulus and recoverable shear strain) decreased with increasing LCB, in this series. Non-Newtonian behaviour was studied and the shear rate at which the viscosity falls to 95% of the zero shear-rate value is given this increases with LCB from 0.3 sec"1 for the least branched to 20 sec"1 for the most branched (the text says that shear sensitivity increases with branching, but the numerical data show that it is this shear rate that increases). This comparison, unlike that made by Guillet, is at constant Mw, not at constant low shear-rate viscosity.

In a rheomety experiment the two plates or cylinders are moved back and forth relative to one another in an oscillating fashion. The elastic storage modulus (G - The contribution of elastic, i.e. solid-like behaviour to the complex dynamic modulus) and elastic loss modulus (G" - The contribution of viscous, i.e. liquid-like behaviour to the complex modulus) which have units of Pascals are measured as a function of applied stress or oscillation frequency. For purely elastic materials the stress and strain are in phase and hence there is an immediate stress response to the applied strain. In contrast, for purely viscous materials, the strain follows stress by a 90 degree phase lag. For viscoelastic materials the behaviour is somewhere in between and the strain lag is not zero but less than 90 degrees. The complex dynamic modulus ( ) is used to describe the stress-strain relationship (equation 14.1 i is the imaginary number square root of-1). 

Martin and Ricco state that each cross-link formed in the HR-100 film has two effects that can perturb the APM propagation velocity an increase in the elastic storage modulus (G ) and a decrease in the surface mass density (ps) through the liberation of two N2 molecules. Both of these effects should result in an increase in APM velocity, consistent with the positive velocity shift observed during cross-linking. In addition, cross-linking typically decreases the loss modulus (G"), a result of restricting dissipative processes [193]. This is consis-... 

The principle rheological properties which reflect the polymer process dynamics are the loss modulus (C), storage modulus (G"), dynamic complex viscosity (n ), and tan delta parameters. In simplified form the loss modulus describes the viscous or fluid component of viscosity. That is, how easily the molecules can move past each other. The storage modulus describes the elastic or network entanglement structure of the polymers. It is, therefore, sensitive to cross linking, reaction formation and the elastomeric modifiers. The complex dynamic viscosity is the combined effect of both moduli discussed. It, therefore. 

The first test is a series of isothermal temperature hold experiments measuring the visco-elastic kinetic cure properties (Figure 1). The temperature values selected bracket every 10 F, the range in which processing is to occur. The four properties measured are the loss modulus (viscous modulus G"), storage modulus (elastic modulus G ), complex viscosity (rf), and tan delta (G"/G ). However, when mainly newtonian liquids or monomers are present (G" G and tan delta >10), viscosity is sufficient to use for the evaluation criteria. 

Pad porosity is inversely related to its density. Many physical properties of the polyurethan pad are strongly dependent upon its porosity (or density). The hardness and Young s modulus (elastic or storage modulus) of porous pads have a clear linear correlation with the density (or porosity) of the pads [1]. It is obvious that nonporous (noncell) pads have much smaller variability in density and other physical properties compared to porous pads. Nonporous pads have much higher strength, modulus, hardness, and elongation than porous pads.

Under conditions of small damping, the elastic (storage) modulus (G ) equals the torsional modulus of the rod (G) and thus the equation for simple harmonic motion may be rewritten ... 

Structured gel and emulsion formulations, designed to suspend particles or oils, are generally viscoelastic. They have both viscous and elastic properties. Such formulations are characterized by their elastic modulus (( ) and loss modulus (G"). The elastic modulus (elastic component) is a measure of energy storage and the loss modulus (viscous component) is a measure of energy dissipation. For viscoelastic fluids G > G" and for viscous fluids G < G". For a suspension or emulsion to be stable G should be greater than G" over the range of temperature required for stability. 

The dynamic mechanical analysis method deter-minesl l elastic modulus (or storage modulus, G ), viscous modulus (or loss modulus, G"), and damping coefficient (tan A) as a function of temperature, frequency or time. Results are usually in the form of a graphical plot of G, G", and tan A as a function of temperature or strain. DMA may also be used for quality control and product development purposes.

We have shown (8) that the permeability of such gels is determined mainly by the dilute peripheral gel. Their viscoelasticity, their elastic storage modulus in particular, is determined by the number of clusters (i.e., the number of initiator molecules, per unit volume) (9). A two-gel cluster model of this kind has proved most successful (8). 

G The storage modulus The storage modulus is defined as the elastic component of the gel or liquid under study. Essentially, this represents the degree of in phase behavior that the gel provides, or describes the strength and degree to which the gel acts like a solid.

Rheological behavior can be determined with small-amplitude sinusoidal shear, using the cone-and-plate steady-shear test to determine the linear viscoelastic shear strain. A sinusoidal curve is charted to represent the viscous (loss) modulus (out-of-phase segment) and the elastic (storage) modulus (in-phase segment) [2]. 

The quantities E and G refer to quasi-static measurements. When cyclic motions of stress and strain are involved, it is more convenient to use dynamical mechanical moduli. The complex Young s modulus is then defined as = " + iE", where E is the storage modulus and " the loss modulus. The storage modulus is a measure of the energy stored elastically during deformation the loss modulus is a measure of the energy converted to heat. Similar definitions hold for G, J, and other mechanical properties.
