Normalized Comparisons

Here are the comparisons of the moduluses. Each graph is normalized to the room temperature value. The Bartol material (pink) is shown to have drastic changes in its moduluses over the temperature range. Its loss modulus increases to 13 times the room temperature value, and its storage modulus increases to 25 times the room temperature value. The black and white material has a total change of nearly zero in its loss modulus, and only increases the storage modulus to 3 times its original value.
