NBR Rubber vs. Silicon Nitride

NBR rubber and silicon nitride belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. NBR rubber is a polymeric material, while silicon nitride is ceramic. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 5 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (17, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is NBR rubber and the bottom bar is silicon nitride.
