A soft polymer that refuses to break: EPFL's printable elastomer lands where the field has long stumbled

EPFL researchers report that a 3D-printable elastomer they originally tuned for additive manufacturing turns out to be tougher and more fatigue-resistant than expected, narrowing a stubborn gap between printable rubbers and industrial-grade silicones.
