Sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable castor oil-derived elastomers enabled by dynamic acetoacetyl formed amides
Developing sustainable, recyclable, and biodegradable elastomers with the mechanical properties comparable to commercial polymers presents a formidable challenge. To this end, we synthesize a kind of mechanically robust elastomers cross -linked by acetoace ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024Permanently magnetized elastomer rotating actuator using traveling waves
We report a soft actuator that generates continuous rotation of an object placed on it by electromagnetically exciting circular travelling waves in a soft disk. The disk, that serves as the stator, is made of a stretchable composite consisting of segments ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Reinforced Supramolecular Networks of End Functionalized Polymers for Tailored Thermomechanical Property Profiles
Thermoset rubbers give rise to elastomers with tunable stiffness and high resilience but are not recyclable. Thermoplastic elastomers can address this problem but their broad applicability is impeded by either limited operating temperatures or inferior ela ...
EPFL2023Solvent-Free Synthesis and Processing of Conductive Elastomer Composites for Green Dielectric Elastomer Transducers
Stretchable electrodes are more suitable for dielectric elastomer transducers (DET) the closer the mechanical characteristics of the electrodes and elastomer are. Here, a solvent-free synthesis and processing of conductive composites with excellent electri ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2022Dielectric properties of 3-3 flexible composites by infiltration of elastomers into porous ceramic structures using cellulose scaffold
Elastomer composites are prepared by infiltrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into a porous ceramic structure of nanoparticles. This method differs from the conventional approach, where particles are dispersed into the polymer matrix, since here, the polym ...
