All materials are elastic to a point. An elastic material is one that returns to its original size and shape when the load that is causing it to bend or stretch, is removed. At some point all materials will exceed their "elastic limit".

Mild steel used for building structures is quite elastic if not over loaded. Rubber such as a rubber band is extremely elastic but it also has an elastic limit, and an ultimate strength. Glass is not very elastic and is considered brittle.

Plastic but not elastic?

This question does not make sense! In blood chemistry (biochem), erythrocytes' capsule is plastic but not elastic. Plastic = Able to change shape Elastic = Stretchable In this case, erythrocyte can be easily squeezed through narrow capillaries, by changing it's shape and they can maintain so until they went through the capillaries. They are NOT elastic, as they will rupture when they're stretched.
