Reliability of Dielectric Elastomers

, 2020
Dielectric elastomers are soft, voltage-responsive polymers. They deform when an electric field is applied and this deformation allows the dielectric elastomers to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, or mechanical into electrical energy, which in other words mark dielectric elastomers as electromechanical transducers.

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Novel high dielectric constant hybrid elastomers as candidates for dielectric elastomer actuators

, 2017
Presently, none of the reported elastomers meets the optimal requirements expected to produce a commercially attractive dielectric elastomer film. Therefore, bold approaches have to be undertaken in order to make significant improvements. The presented research deals with the simple idea of incorporating high-permittivity polar liquids in discrete ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.
