Sylgard/A16: Young’s Modulus at 23C

Measured using an Instron load frame with extensometers tension: 4” between grips compression: cylinder (0.5” x 0.5”).

As the fragile GMB crush as strain increases, the modulus decreases with increasing strain and irreversible damage leads to significant hysteresis during subsequent ramps.

Initial E = 13 MPa
