Princeton University researchers have developed a new 3D printed plastic material that is stretchable, flexible, and recyclable. Using thermoplastic elastomers and thermal annealing, the material can be tailored to different mechanical properties, making it suitable for applications in soft robotics, medical devices, prosthetics, and more. The cost-effective and scala…Princeton University researchers have developed a new 3D printed plastic material that is stretchable, flexible, and recyclable.
