A viscoelastic substance is a material that exhibits both viscous (flowing) and elastic (deformation and recovery) properties when subjected to stress or strain. The term "viscoelastic" combines the characteristics of viscosity and elasticity. These substances can deform under stress like an elastic material, but also flow and dissipate energy like a viscous material. Examples include polymers, biological tissues, and certain fluids like mucus.
