Dielectric elastomers (DEs), a class of soft electroactive polymers that change size upon exposure to an external electric field, constitute an increasingly important class of stimuli-responsive polymers due primarily to their large actuation strains, facile and low-cost fabrication, scalability, and mechanical robustness. Unless purposefully constrained, most DEs exhibit isotropic actuation wherein size changes are the same in all actuation directions. Previous studies of DEs containing oriented, stiff fibers have demonstrated, however, that anisotropic actuation along a designated direction is more electromechanically efficient since this design eliminates energy expended in nonessential directions. To identify an alternative, supramolecularlevel route to anisotropic electroactuation, we investigate the thermal and mechanical properties of novel thermoplastic elastomer gels composed of a selectively solvated olefinic block copolymer that not only microphaseseparates but also crystallizes upon cooling from the solution state. While these materials possess remarkable mechanical attributes (e.g., giant strains in excess of 4000%), their ability to be strain-conditioned enables huge anisotropic actuation levels, measured to be greater than 30 from the ratio of orthogonal actuation strains. This work establishes that crystallizationinduced anisotropic actuation can be achieved with these DEs.The ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201803467.reasons account for this sudden spike in technological interest: (1) development of flexible, stretchable, and otherwise compliant electrode technologies, and (2) discovery of dielectric materials possessing the appropriate electrical and elastomeric properties required to attain large actuation strains. The seminal paper by Pelrine et al. [6] is largely responsible for spurring contemporary DE studies by introducing the use of carbon grease as a compliant electrode in conjunction with a new chemically crosslinked dielectric material, a commercial acrylic adhesive (VHB 4905/4910), that is capable of achieving actuation strains greater than 100% (on an area basis). Since this initial investigation of VHB, the DE community has considered surprisingly few new competitive materials even though VHB remains somewhat proprietary and it is only manufactured in a limited number of thicknesses. Nevertheless, because of its performance, availability and relatively low cost, VHB has dominated the scientific literature as the gold standard to which the performance of other materials is frequently compared.
