为什么可穿戴设备离不开塑料等高分子材料呢？主要因为塑料等材料的优异性能，成为可穿戴生产制造的不二选择：
1、坚固（Durability）: Plastics are a great choice for wearable electronics because they’re durable and long lasting. Plastics add the other meaning of “wear” to wearables.
2、耐摩擦（Scratch resistance）: Plastics are highly scratch resistant, which is helpful since wearables often get scraped and scuffed during the course of everyday activity.
3、柔韧性（Flexibility）： Want to try a tricky new yoga position? Many trackers made with plastics will move with you.
4、轻质（Lightweight）: Wearables made with lightweight plastics can feel almost like wearing nothing at all—many people say they forget that they’re wearing anything, which leads to the next benefit …
5、防水（Resistant to water）: Oops, forgot to take off the tracker when stepping into the shower? Many wearables made with plastics are water resistant, and some can even be submerged in water, according to the manufacturers.
