Giant, Voltage-Actuated Deformation of a Dielectric Elastomer under Dead Load
Huang, Jiangshui; Li, Tiefeng; Foo, Choon Chiang; Zhu, Jian; Clarke, David R.; Suo, Zhigang (American Institute of Physics, 2012)Far greater voltage-actuated deformation is achievable for a dielectric elastomer under equal-biaxial dead load than under rigid constraint usually employed. Areal strains of 488% are demonstrated. The dead load suppresses ... -
Natural rubber for sustainable high-power electrical energy generation
Kaltseis, Rainer; Keplinger, Christoph; Adrian Koh, Soo Jin; Baumgartner, Richard; Goh, Yu Feng; Ng, Wee Hoe; Kogler, Alexander; Tröls, Andreas; Foo, Choon; Suo, Zhigang; Bauer, Siegfried (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014)Clean, renewable and abundant sources of energy, such as the vast energy of ocean waves, are untapped today, because no technology exists to convert such mechanical motions to electricity economically. Other sources of ...
