The storage modulus is a measure of how much energy must be put into the sample in order to distort it. The difference between the loading and unloading curves is called the loss modulus, E ". It measures energy lost during that cycling strain. Why would energy be lost in this experiment? In a polymer, it has to do chiefly with chain flow.
The storage modulus generally increases with increase in the percentage of secondary constituent (polymer as blend, fillers/reinforcement to make composite), while it decreases dramatically with increase in temperature, and a complete loss of properties is observed at the Tg, which is generally close to 40 °C.
While storage modulus demonstrates elastic behavior, loss modulus exemplifies the viscous behavior of the polymer. Similar to static mechanical properties, dynamic–mechanical properties of PPC blends and composites improved significantly with varying content of the secondary constituent.
The modulus values are found to drop at a temperature of around 45 °C. This drop in modulus value continues until a temperature of 140 °C is reached. Molecular motion is believed to set in at 45 °C. The change in dynamic properties is also associated with crazing and formation of microscopic cracks and voids.
In the glassy region the storage modulus, E′, is about the same for all amorphous, unpigmented network polymers (approximately 2 to 4 × 10 10 dynes/cm 2 which is equal to 2 to 4 × 10 9 Newtons/m 2). E' drops sharply in the transition region. For uncrosslinked, high molecular weight polymers, E' drops by more than three orders of magnitude.
The complex modulus is the complex response of the material to an applied strain (or stress) and is, in simplistic terms, the vector sum of the storage (Elastic) G’ and loss (viscous) G’’ components.
