Abstract:
The invention relates to a measuring tape () comprising a stack of at least two layers, characterized in that it also includes a first layer, called support layer, based on composite material () and a layer, called top layer, () based on a polymer having a high glass transition temperature so that, in conditions of use, said polymer is in a glassy state to maintain the element in the wound or folded position.The invention also relates to a deployable structure including said measuring tape intended notably for space applications.
