As of November 2006, the stiffest unreinforcedcommercially available material was 'Primospire' polyphenylene from Solvay Chemicals, with a flexural modulus of 1.2 Million PSI & tensile strength of 30,000 PSI.
Glass-filled materials may achieve higher stiffness, but at lower strength.
The stiffness of a material is reported as its Young's Modulus.
Steel has a modulus in the vicinity of 200 GPa. (Giga Pascal)
Tungsten has a figure of 400 GPa. Beryllium has a modulus of 287 GPa.
Osmium comes in about 550 GPa.
And top of the list of course, but not a metal, is Diamond at 1220 GPa.
The toughest plastic I believe is polycarbonate or maybe polymer but they are not the hardest plastic.
PVC and Polystyrene are the most rigid, thus they are used mainly for piping.
The hardest plastic is nano-plastic.
Anthracite!
c b s e is the hardest course in the world
A diamond is the hardest mineral. However diamonds vary in hardness with South African diamonds being harder than Australian ones.
No. On the Mohs Scale of hardness, the hardness comparisons are exactly opposite. Talc is rated as 1 -- soft, and diamond is rated as 10 -- hard, in fact, the hardest rating.
What do you mean? the hardest element? Carbon in the form of diamond is the hardest substance in the world, followed i think by tungsten which is what they use to make lightbulb filaments with!
clay,wood,plastic,iron
No. Diamond is the hardest mineral and it is not malleable or plastic.
Diamond is the hardest.
Plastic is the hardest material to recycle on earth because: 1: Plastic has to be separated into many different kinds by hand 2: If a mixture of plastic is not recycled together they either contaminate the melt or you get a lower grade of plastic than the originals. This is called "downcucling". 3: Plastics need more energy to recycle than any other materials
Diamond is the hardest material on the list. It ranks as a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making it the hardest naturally occurring substance known.
The hardest substance in a rock would be the hardest mineral of which the rock is composed.
diamonds are the hardest
Diamonds are the hardest mineral and the agate is the secod hardest mineral.
The name of the hardest solid is a diamond; it is the hardest object known to humankind.
From what I hear, One is the hardest & Master of Puppets is second hardest.
The third hardest gemstone is ruby and then the fourth hardest is emerald.
yes.
