Elastomers Based on Polynorbornene with Polar Polysiloxane Brushes for Soft Transducer Applications

Frank Nüesch, Yeerlan Adeli

Elastomers based on cross-linked bottlebrush polymers combine an extreme softness at low strains with a strain-stiffening effect, which makes them attractive as active components in dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA). Their main disadvantage concerns the ...
