Polymer substrates used for wearable sensors and antennas [1.11, 1.16]. bendability

is defined as the capability of a material, structure, or system to be flexible and easily bent or shaped without fracturing or losing functionality [1.8, 1.11]. This property is crucial in manufacturing—particularly in sheet metal forming—where it determines the limits of deformation, as well as in material science, where it dictates how materials like wood, steel, or polymers respond to stress [1.1, 1.4]. Discuss methods like annealing to refine microstructures (e

The presence of non-metallic inclusions in steel can drastically reduce its bendability [1.7]. The presence of non-metallic inclusions in steel can

The bendability of a material is not merely a product of its flexibility but a complex function of its microstructure, surface conditions, and stress states, requiring precise optimization for advanced forming applications. II. Technical Mechanisms of Bendability
