I ordered a sample of super elastic plastic from Inventables, and when it came in I decided that it would be a lot easier to physically demonstrate how stretchy it is, rather than merely describing the elastic qualities of the material. Also the plastic came a lovely shade of pink (which may or may not have influenced my decision to order it in the first place) and I thought you might like to see the pinkness of it. All this is to say that I just made my first Materials in Motion video post, and I hope you will find it entertaining and educational.

WU XING:

I filed super elastic plastic under Metal and Wood, because the characteristics of plasticity flexibility, ductility, etc, are often attributed to these elements.
