  -> Thank you, Charles
neutral  Thomas Johansson: or "insensitive to bending" // Right. "bend-sensitive" is easier to handle grammatically in a variety of contexts and the better choice if one standard form is sought. "insensitive to bending" is just an alternative for more relaxed constructions.

  -> Strangely enough, this variant is used in technical texts very rarely, everyone uses "bend(-)insensitive"
