  • Patent number: 11155063
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a stretchable structure that has stretchability together with high stress relaxation properties, and provides fit feeling with less tightening by recovering slowly after stretching. The object is achieved by a stretchable structure having the following characteristics: a tensile permanent set (PS10M) of 1% or more and 50% or less, wherein the tensile permanent set (PS10M) is a value obtained 10 minutes after 150% elongation at a tension rate of 200 mm/minute in accordance with JIS K7127, and a ratio PS1M/PS10M of 1.10 or more, wherein the PS10M is the tensile permanent set obtained 10 minutes after the elongation and the PS1M is the tensile permanent set obtained 1 minute after the elongation.
