A processable, high-performance dielectric elastomer and multilayering process

Ye Shi et al.

Summary: Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are capable of generating mechanical work in response to an electric field. In this study, a processable, high-performance dielectric elastomer (PHDE) with a bimodal network structure was synthesized, and its electromechanical properties were tailored by adjusting cross-linkers and hydrogen bonding. The PHDE exhibited high strains without prestretching and multilayer actuators were fabricated using a dry stacking process.

Ultrasoft-yet-strong pentablock copolymer as dielectric elastomer highly responsive to low voltages

Zheqi Chen et al.

Summary: By utilizing a well-designed pentablock copolymer, the challenge of reducing the actuation voltage of electrically active dielectric elastomer has been addressed. The pentablock copolymer with suitable composition exhibits a rare combination of ultrasonic-yet-strong properties. This allows for the convenient fabrication of an ultrathin actuator that is highly responsive to low voltage.

Development of ferroelectric nematic fluids with giant-ε dielectricity and nonlinear optical properties

Jinxing Li et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed superhigh-epsilon fluid materials with high dielectric permittivity, strong second harmonic generation, and macroscopic spontaneous polar ordering through rational molecular design and machine learning analyses. They confirmed that the polar structures are identical for all the synthesized materials and successfully extended this strategy to high-molecular weight systems, creating polar soft matters with spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Enhanced Directional Actuation to Electric Fields

Hayden E. Fowler et al.

Summary: The integration of soft, stimuli-responsive materials in robotic systems allows for delicate object manipulation. Electrical control of mechanical response in liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) results in rapid deformation with little hysteresis. The directional expansion and shape transformation capabilities of LCE actuators demonstrate promising applications in robotics.

Probing the in-plane liquid-like behavior of liquid crystal elastomers

Haruki Tokumoto et al.

Summary: The research on thiol-acrylate liquid crystal elastomers shows that the true stresses in the two orthogonal directions are always identical and only determined by the area change in the loading plane. This in-plane liquid-like behavior allows for applications such as wrinkle-free membranes and adaptable materials.
