Effect of Silane Coupling Agent Chemistry on Electrical Breakdown across Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Insulating Films
Diebold, Roger Mitchell; Gordon, Michael J.; Clarke, David R. (American Chemical Society, 2014)Dielectric breakdown measurements were conducted on self-assembled monolayer (SAM)/native silicon oxide hybrid dielectrics using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). By depositing silane coupling agents (SCAs) through ... -
High-Speed, Compact, Adaptive Lenses Using In-Line Transparent Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Membranes
Shian, Samuel; Diebold, Roger Mitchell; Clarke, David R. (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2013)Electrically tunable adaptive lenses provide several advantages over traditional lens assemblies in terms of compactness, speed, efficiency, and flexibility. We present an elastomer-liquid lens system which makes use of ... -
Highly compliant transparent electrodes
Shian, Samuel; Diebold, Roger Mitchell; McNamara, Alena; Clarke, David R. (AIP Publishing, 2012)Adaptive optical devices based on electric field induced deformation of dielectricelastomers require transparent and highly compliant electrodes to conform to large shape changes. Electrical, optical, and actuation properties ... -
The Thickness and Stretch Dependence of the Electrical Breakdown Strength of an Acrylic Dielectric Elastomer
Huang, Jiangshui; Shian, Samuel; Diebold, Roger Mitchell; Suo, Zhigang; Clarke, David R. (American Institute of Physics, 2012)The performance of dielectric elastomer actuators is limited by electrical breakdown. Attempts to measure this are confounded by the voltage-induced thinning of the elastomer. A test configuration is introduced that avoids ... -
Tunable Lenses Using Transparent Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
Shian, Samuel; Diebold, Roger Mitchell; Clarke, David R. (Optical Society of America, 2013)Focus tunable, adaptive lenses provide several advantages over traditional lens assemblies in terms of compactness, cost, efficiency, and flexibility. To further improve the simplicity and compact nature of adaptive lenses, ...
