Cuticular Elasticity

Cuticular Elasticity is a biomechanical property denoting the capacity of the insect exoskeletal cuticle to reversibly deform under applied stress, distinguishing it from other structural properties by its specific dependence on the molecular architecture and hydration state of the cuticular matrix.
