Bimodal condensation silicone elastomers as dielectric elastomers [PDF]
, 2016 Lately, dielectric elastomers (DEs) which consist of an elastomer sandwiched between electrodes on both sides, have gained interest as materials for actuators, generators, and sensors. An ideal elastomer for DE uses is characterized by high extensibility, flexibility and good mechanical fatigue as well as high electrical and mechanical breakdown ...

Silicone elastomers for artificial muscles
, 2023 Mimicking the characteristics of human muscles has been a scientific challenge for decades. The linear motion of human muscles, along with their self-healing properties and ability to achieve large strains while preserving stiffness, has proven difficult to imitate effectively by traditional means.
