Abstract The mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of dry and native elastoidin are studied as a function of strain rate, and the plastic set behaviour of the dry elastoidin is found to be sensitive to strain rate. The results are correlated with the scanning electron microscopy of the fractured ends of dry and native elastoidin. Broken ends of dry elastoidin, fractured at a strain rate of 10.0 min−1, appear blunt and under the same conditions the native specimen's ends appear sharp.
