You're asking for a lot of work...Jim henson was a plasics specialist who had a short stint with Xerox PARC (in conjunction with the CIA) working with a latex polymer that was intended to be a super-resilient, lifelike 'skin' for use in an 'ultra natural undercover mask'. (This is well documented under the U.S. freedom of information act). He was unfortunately decommisioned by his artistic (rather than technical) focus from the CIA and as a result, was removed from the PARC lab. He brought his polymer secrets with him, and helped create one of the most successful and lifelike marionette/puppet (by his term, "muppet") characters ever created.
This information should be openly available through "Jim Henson" and "polymer research" on Google. It is somewhat well known...
