  • Publication number: 20170108154
    Abstract: An elastically deformable article of manufacture can comprise a closed polymer shell having an outer surface, an inner surface, and an inner volume; a reinforcement in mechanical communication with an area of either the outer surface, the inner surface, or both the outer surface and the inner surface; wherein the closed polymer shell comprises a first polymer material having a thermal decomposition temperature of greater than or equal to 180° C.; wherein the article is configured such that the inner volume reduces from an initial inner volume as a pressure applied to the outer surface is increased to a threshold pressure and rebounds to greater than 75% of the initial inner volume as the pressure decreases from the threshold pressure over at least two pressure cycles.
