| viscoelasticity |
This property, possessed by all plastics to some degree, dictates that while plastics have solid-like characteristics such as elasticity, strength and form-stability, they also have liquid-like characteristics such as flow depending on time, temperature, rate and amount of loading. Materials that demonstrate both viscous and elastic behavior under applied stress are called viscoelastic.

| viscoelasticity |
(r) a combination of viscous and elastic properties in a material with the relative contribution of each being dependent on time, temperature, stress and strain rate. Viscosity the resistance of a material to flow under stress.
