Degradation patterns of silicone-based dielectric elastomers in electrical fields
International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2018 Silicone elastomers have been heavily investigated as candidates for the flexible insulator material in dielectric elastomer transducers and are as such almost ideal candidates because of their inherent softness and compliance.
