[0087] [Table 1]

[0088] <Production of elastomers> Compositions were synthesized using the raw materials and formulations shown in Tables 2 and 3 below to produce the elastomers of each Example and Comparative Example. More specifically, prepolymer A or B was mixed with polymerizable monomer (THF-A), the host compound β-cyclodextrin (PAcβCDAAmMe) (β-CD), and the guest compound (MADMA) at room temperature for 2 hours, and the resulting solution was added to the polymerizable monomer (2EHA) and photopolymerization initiator, followed by stirring and degassing. The mixture was poured into a silicone mold (size: 3 cm x 4 cm x 1 mm thick), sandwiched between a peelable PET sheet and a glass plate, and irradiated with UV light under the conditions described below to obtain the elastomers of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. (UV irradiation conditions) Wavelength: 395nm Illuminance: 56mW / cm 2 Accumulated light output: 500mJ / cm 2

[0089] The evaluations for each of the Examples and Comparative Examples were carried out as follows, and the evaluation results are shown in Table 3 below. (gel fraction) The sample was immersed in THF in an amount 20 times the sample weight, and after stirring for 24 hours, the insoluble matter that remained in the THF without dissolving was removed, dried in vacuum, and its weight was measured and divided by the weight of the sample before immersion to calculate the weight.

[0090] (peel strength) The peel strength of the sample was measured in accordance with JIS Z 0237;2022. Polyimide (PI) tape (5 cm wide x 10 cm long x 0.06 mm thick) (product name: DanYun) was attached to a SUS plate. A sample (25 mm wide x 100 mm long x 1 mm thick) was attached to the surface of the polyimide tape. A PET film (25 mm wide x 150 mm long x 50 μm thick) was attached to the surface of the sample. The sample was then aged for 24 hours in a thermostatic chamber at 23°C and 50% RH. The PET film was then gripped using an autograph, and the sample was peeled off under the following conditions. (Test conditions) Test speed: 300 mm / min

[0091] (tensile strength) The tensile strength of the sample was measured in accordance with JIS K 6400-5 (No. 3 dumbbell, tensile speed 100 mm / min).

[0092] (stretch) The elongation of the sample was measured in accordance with JIS K 6400-5 (No. 3 dumbbell, tensile speed 100 mm / min).

[0093] (shock absorption rate) The impact absorption rate was calculated using a drop-type impact absorption tester (see Figure 1) according to the following formula. Measurements were carried out under the following conditions, with samples cut to a size of 50 mm x 50 mm x 0.1 mm thick placed on a sample stage. (Measurement conditions) Temperature: 23℃ Impactor weight: 13.96g Impactor drop height: 300mm (formula) Surface impact absorption rate (%) = {(fa0-fa1) / fa0} x 100

[0094] In the above formula, fa0 is the impact load when an impact absorption test is performed without placing a sample on the sample stage and only a 5 mm thick acrylic plate is placed on the sample stage, and fa1 is the impact load when an impact absorption test is performed with a sample placed on the sample stage and a 5 mm thick acrylic plate placed at the position where the sample comes into contact with the impactor. Measurements were taken from a drop height of 100 mm. The impact load was measured using a sensor installed on the sample stage. The impact absorption rate was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. (Evaluation criteria) A: Impact absorption rate is 20% or more C: Impact absorption rate is less than 20%

[0095] (Total light transmittance) Measurement was carried out in accordance with JIS K-7361 using a sample with a thickness of 50 μm.

[0096] (recovery rate) The recovery rate was measured using a parallel plate oscillatory rheometer (MCR-302, manufactured by Anton-Paar) in which a sample cut to a size of φ8 mm x t0.5 mm was placed and a load of 200% strain was applied for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the load was removed and the strain of the sample (strain after 10 minutes) (%) was measured. The residual strain (%) and recovery rate (%) were calculated using the following formula. The recovery rate was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. (formula) Residual strain (%) = {(strain after 10 minutes) / 200} x 100 Recovery rate (%) = 100 - (residual strain) (Evaluation criteria) A: Recovery rate is 75% or more B: Recovery rate is between 50% and 75% C: Recovery rate is less than 50% or measurement is impossible

[0097] (storage modulus / loss modulus) The storage modulus and loss modulus were measured by processing the sample into a size of φ20 mm × t0.5 mm, sandwiching it between parallel plates, and using a parallel plate oscillatory rheometer (Anton-Paar, MCR-302) at a measurement temperature of 23°C, a frequency of 1 Hz, and a strain of 0.1%.

[0098] (loss tangent) The loss tangent (tan δ) was determined by dividing the loss modulus measured by the above-mentioned method by the storage modulus.

[0099] (glass transition temperature (Tg)) The glass transition temperature was determined as the peak value of the loss tangent (tan δ) measured by the method described above.
