An opportunity to construct an analytical representation of the elastic moduli data evolved recently from an extensive compilation (NISTIR 6853) of the elastic property data for polycrystalline oxide ceramics [1].
Dow's constrained-geometry metallocene catalysts also make a range of ethylene/1-octene copolymers described as having higher melt elastic moduli at high melt indices than conventional polymers.
A major compilation of elastic moduli data (Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio) for oxide ceramics has been completed and added to the online NIST Ceramics WebBook.
