Plastic materials, when deformed, take on a new shape rather than return to its original form. Ideally, rubber is a material that tends to return to its original shape after it has been deformed. This is possible due to the large molecules having a specific shape, like that of a coil spring. You can stretch them but they will snap back to their original position.
