Storage and loss modulus. The storage modulus determines the solid-like character of a polymer. When the storage modulus is high, the more difficult it is to break down the polymer, which makes it more difficult to force through a nozzle extruder. Therefore, the nozzle can become clogged and the polymer cannot pass through the opening.
