The instantaneous strain recovery caused by the rapid removal of m
2 from (
m1+
m2) load on PP film was investigated. The instantaneous strain recovery elastic modulus E was calculated by the following equation. Where
m1 and
m2 are the masses of two loads on the sample, G is the gravitational acceleration,
V is the initial velocity of strain recovery,
L is the sample length, and
S is the cross sectional area of the sample. In the case of
m1<100g, the values of
E in the two load regions of
m2<200g and
m2>300g were different. The former value of
E was larger than the latter (≈Young's modulus 4.63×10
9dyne/cm
2), With increasing
m1, these values approached to each other and showed the same value at
m1≈100g. With
m1>100g, the value of
E was constant regardless of
m1. The constant value of
E was almost equal to Young's modulus. The instantaneous strain recovery elasticity was explained by Voigt element viscoelastic model. In the case of (
m1+
m2)<400g, it was influenced strongly by the viscous parts in a sample.
