Introduction to Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and its Application
If storage modulus is greater than the loss modulus, then the material can be regarded as mainly elastic. Conversely, if loss modulus is greater than storage modulus, then the material is predominantly viscous (it will dissipate more energy than it can store, like a flowing liquid). Tan δ indicates the relative degree of energy dissipation
