Reduced Graphene Oxide Transparent Electrodes Enabling Compact Soft Tunable Lenses
Advanced 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 ...
