Soft, flexible polymer resin film stretches and returns to its original shape. Adapts to desired manners of folding and to varying free-form surfaces, substantially reducing existing design constraints. Enables construction of soft and stretchable electronic devices adaptable to a variety of forms, such as clothing and body. Can be used in wearable devices, sensors, displays, and robots. Tensile elongation is 2.5 times or more. Insulating film material capable of relaxing internal stresses arising from stretch, returning to its original shape, and withstanding repeated use Percentage of stress relaxation 60%. Recovery rate said to be 98% or more.
