-
(qualifier:materials science, uncountable) The ability of a material to return to its original size after being stretched or compressed, as opposed to becoming permanently deformed or shattering.
After stress is relieved, however, conventional ferroelectric materials exhibit poor elastic recovery—typically less than 2%, thus tend to be either brittle (ferroelectric ceramics) or plastic (ferroelectric polymers).
