First, they created a small capsule from a sheet of flexible polymer a tenth of a millimetre thick.

首先，他们用一种只有十分之一毫米厚的柔性聚合物制作了一颗小胶囊。

One solution, being developed by researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC), incorporates flexible polymers into the metal propeller blades, allowing their tips—one of the main sites of cavitation—to bend and twist.

不列颠哥伦比亚大学 (UBC) 的研究人员正在开发一种解决方案，将柔性聚合物融入金属螺旋桨叶片中，使其尖端（空化的主要位置之一）可以弯曲和扭曲。

Again, you take a flexible polymer such as our Ziploc bag, you fill it with an insulating liquid, such as olive oil, and now, instead of the glass plate, you place an electrical conductor on one side of the pouch.

同样，你拿一个柔性聚合物， 比如我们的 Ziploc 袋子，你在里面装满绝缘液体， 比如橄榄油，现在，你把一个电导体放在袋子的一侧， 而不是玻璃板。
