Question

How does the resilience requirement of a soft liner differ from that of a mouth guard used in contact sports, such as boxing? Explain your answer using a resilience versus temperature plot for each material, marking the relative position of mouth temperature on each plot. Explain, at a molecular level, why the materials perform differently. [6]

Answer 1

Answer:
Since soft liner has to sustain higher temperature, resilience requirement to it is higher than that for a mouth guard.
