Stretchable UV‐curable (SUV) elastomers can be stretched by up to 1100% and are suitable for digital‐light‐processing (DLP)‐based 3D‐printing technology. DLP printing of these SUV elastomers enables the direct creation of highly deformable complex 3D hollow structures such as balloons, soft actuators, grippers, and buckyball electronical switches.
