How to Read Storage Modulus and Loss Modulus: A Practical Guide

How to Read Storage Modulus and Loss Modulus: A Practical Guide

Ever wondered why your rubber band snaps back but chewing gum doesn't? That's viscoelastic behavior in action, and it's exactly what storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') help us quantify. Think of G' as the material's "memory" (how well it bounces back) and G'' as its "resistance to flow" (how gooey it acts). [2025-01-31 00:16]
