Influence of electric field, temperature, humidity, elastomer material, and encapsulation on the lifetime of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) under DC actuation

Smart Materials and Structures, 2021
Abstract We present the effect of electric field, temperature, humidity, type of elastomer material, and encapsulation on the lifetime of silicone-based dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) under DC electric fields.

Effect of Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) Construction on Performance and Breakdown Strength

ASME 2022 Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems, 2022
Abstract Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), unlike traditional actuators, are lightweight, soft, smart materials that are proving to be attractive in a broad range of potential applications such as robotic arms, artificial muscles, medical devices, stretchable sensors, grippers, loudspeakers, and automotive lightweighting.

Effect of electrode composition and patterning method on the lifetime of silicone-based dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) under different environmental conditions

Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) XXIII, 2021
We report an experimental investigation of the lifetime of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) under constant DC actuation, with a characterization setup which allows the monitoring of strain and resistance over time for 6 DEAs in parallel. We show how the choice of the electrode influences the lifetime of silicone-based DEAs under constant DC ...
