2021-225 An Innovative Dielectric Elastomer and Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Actuator with High Electrically Induced Actuation Strains

SUMMARY: UCLA researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering have developed a dielectric elastomer and layering process that can produce actuators capable of high strain and high frequency actuation. BACKGROUND: Dielectric elastomers (DE) can act as deformable capacitors that can generate a mechanical movement in response to an...
