Nanolayer‐Encapsulated Stretchable Liquid‐Metal Sheets for Thermal Management
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A stretchable liquid metal sheet with both high thermal conductivity and mechanical flexibility is developed. Its trilayer structure, comprising copper‐particle‐dispersed gallium liquid metal encapsulated by styrene‐butadiene‐styrene nanosheets, shows 40.4 W m−1 K−1 conductivity, elongation exceeding 200%, and retention of 96% of its initial ...

Fault-tolerant silicone dielectric elastomers
International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2010 Soft silicone films have garnered a great deal of interest for use in dielectric elastomer transducers due to their excellent properties, including high elongation to rupture, low viscoelasticity, and broad application temperature range. However, silicone films generally have higher stiffness and lower dielectric strength than VHB acrylic elastomers ...
