Nematic elastomers with aligned carbon nanotubes: new electromechanical actuators
, 2003 We demonstrate, for the first time, the large electromechanical response in nematic liquid crystalline elastomers filled with a very low (~0.01%) concentration of carbon nanotubes, aligned along the nematic director at preparation. The nanotubes create a

Balloon dielectric elastomer actuator speaker
Applied Acoustics, 2019 Abstract A balloon dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) speaker is constructed by forming a disk-shaped DEA film into a sphere using air, increasing its surface area by 3033%. Sound is generated via expansion and contraction. Shaping the DEA film into a sphere decreases the film thickness and applies a significant amount of pre-strain (prestretch) to ...
