Dielectric Elastomer Actuators with Carbon Nanotube Electrodes Painted with a Soft Brush
Actuators, 2018 We propose a simple methodology to paint carbon nanotube (CNT) powder with a soft brush onto an elastomer. A large deformation of dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) occurs according to the small constraint of the electrodes. Uniform painting with a soft
