AI Thread Summary
Neoprene, the material used in wetsuits, is an elastomer that can be formulated to exhibit various hardness levels, ranging from soft foam to hard rubber. For A-level physics coursework, understanding the Young's Modulus of neoprene is crucial, but specific values can be challenging to find. The material's properties can vary significantly based on its formulation, affecting its performance in different applications. Additional insights into both microscopic and macroscopic properties of neoprene can enhance comprehension for academic purposes. Overall, neoprene's versatility makes it a significant subject of study in materials science.

Neoprene (material wetsuits are made from)
I am doing my physics a level coursework on neoprene. I'm finding it extremely difficult to find the Young's Modulus for this and the microscopic and macroscopic is anybody able to help me with this?
any other information would be great help too!
Thank you
Emma

Neoprene, like any elastomer, can be formulated to have a wide variety of different hardnesses. It can be made as a foam, soft enough to make a pillow out of, or as hard as a hockey puck.
