The Potential of Wearable Systems Using Dielectric Elastomers (DE)

Smart Wearable Technology
Recent progress in dielectric elastomers has been remarkable. As an actuator, it is now possible to lift an 8 kg weight by more than 1 mm at a speed of 88 ms with a dielectric elastomer of only 0.15 g. As a sensor, it is capable of measuring from 0.01 N to 1,400 N with a very thin and small device, and can also use moisture sensors, stretch sensors ...
