Optyl is a thermoelastic material, or refered to as memory plastic. Cellulose Acetate be made harder, that's a good question. Cellulose acetate is usually coated to prevent it from getting brittle too soon and to prevent discoloration from UV, but I have not heard of making it harder with anything. Unless they mean another material such as Cellulose aceto-propionate or commonly refered to as propionate.

no appears to be an additive that they want, im at a loss!
my answer on the optyl has to be either or as they were my choices.

Then go thermosetting I am sure it's a matter of which side of the pond your on.

As for an additive are they looking for a specific or would plasticizers work (adding less plasticizers that is)?
