Soft materials

Soft materials are substances that are easily deformed or manipulated under stress. They can include items like rubber, gels, and certain plastics, which have flexible and pliable properties. These materials typically respond to force by bending, stretching, or compressing, rather than breaking. This makes them useful in a variety of applications, from cushioning in products to molds in manufacturing. The softness often comes from their molecular structure, allowing for a range of shapes and forms, which can be tailored for specific uses in industries like textiles, packaging, and consumer goods.
