More than 10-fold increase in the actuation strain of silicone dielectric elastomer actuators by applying prestrain

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samin Akbari

Silicone based dielectric elastomer actuators are preferred for reliable and fast actuation due to their negligible viscoelastic behavior. However, it is more challenging to achieve large deformation actuation using this class of polymers compared to the t ...

Polymer directed-assembly and infiltration of architectured nanocrystals for energy devices

Raffaella Buonsanti

We will describe the design principles by which naked nanocrystals (i.e. Those stripped of their native ligands) can be architectured into diverse 3-D mesoscale materials using block copolymers. Various polymer-architecturing paradigms will be discussed fr ...
