Sample C and B being insulating materials for thermal and sound properties, show better mechanical properties such as tensile strength, young's modulus, good hardness and impact strength when compared with A and D samples.
Poly-L-lactide (PLLA) is a low rate degradation polymer compared to PGA and has good tensile strength and high Young's modulus (4.8 GPa approx).; therefore, it is useful for load-bearing applications, such as orthopedic fixation devices [ 134].
The terms Young's modulus, tensile modulus, elastic modulus, modulus of elasticity, and stiffness are refereeing to the mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a certain material.
For epoxy bulk composites, the two nanofillers play a similar role of good reinforcement in Young's modulus and tensile strength.
As reviewed by Hamad et al. (2015), PLA has good mechanical properties, especially tensile Young's modulus and tensile strength, but limited elongation at fracture and low impact strength when compared to other traditional polymers.
The Ti-30Zr- 6, Ti-30Zr- 6 alloys, located near the boundary of /β with a metastable structure, show a good combination of a low Young's modulus, high tensile strength, fairly large elongation.
All PTVs showed good elastomeric properties, i.e. low tensile modulus, high tensile strength and high elongation at break.
The most commonly specified mechanical properties of polymers include stiffness and breaking stress, quantified in the table of properties and applications as flexural modulus and tensile strength.
At high NC content, the increase in melt temperature reduces the tensile modulus and tensile strength.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for tensile modulus and tensile strength has showed that NC content and screw speed are the most significant factors for tensile modulus and tensile strength, respectively.
