Hey,

What is the difference between an entropic spring and a Hooke's spring?

What is the Young's modulus relationship with temperature in each case?

Thank you

Have you tried Google yet? I got many pages worth of hits when I tried "Entropic Spring".
You see, PF has no idea the level of your knowledge and you could expect a whole range of responses that could be unsuitable for you. Do some homework and then ask a better targeted question if you want to get the best out of PF.
