Silicone elastomer map: design the ideal elastomer [PDF]
Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) XXI, 2019 Soft, stretchable and light-weight transducers are most sought after for research on advanced applications like stretchable electronics, soft robotics and energy harvesters. Stretchable electronics require elastomers that have high elongation at break, high dielectric permittivity and high breakdown strength.
