Reliability of Dielectric Elastomers

open access: yes, 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 ...

Reduced Graphene Oxide Transparent Electrodes Enabling Compact Soft Tunable Lenses

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By spray‐coating an elastomeric membrane with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) at various surface densities, elastomeric actuators are manufactured. Electro‐mechano‐optical characterizations show the suitability of rGO as an effective material for compliant, semi‐transparent electrodes, enabling soft electrically tunable lenses with a compact form factor ...
