Based on the results from their experiments, the researchers created equations that can calculate how soft or hard a material will feel based on material thickness, Young's modulus (a measure of a material's stiffness), and micropatterned areas.

They found that the Young's modulus of the nylon 6,6 films was increased more than two times while the electrical conductivity reached to 10-2 S/cm by addition of 20 wt.% graphene nanoplatelets.

The findings indicated that at the beginning of the processing method (compression molding/extrusion), the crystallinity of the polymer decreased pertaining to a low Young's modulus; however, annealing and sterilization did contribute to an increase in crystallinity along with a modulus increase (618-668 MPa for compression-molded PLLA).

When we square these two terms, add them together, and then take the square root of the resulting sum, we end up with the modulus that most of us are familiar with, what is referred to as the complex modulus and that many equate to Young's modulus. Therefore, the complex modulus can be thought of as the hypotenuse of a right triangle while the elastic and viscous modulus represent the other two sides, as shown in Fig.
