“…Then, Block et al reported semi-conducting polymers as anhydrous ER materials [ 22 , 23 ], which overcame the negative effect of water. After that, anhydrous ER materials won great interest from researchers and diverse kinds of anhydrous ER materials were developed, such as biopolymers, dielectric inorganics and hydrophobic polyelectrolytes [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Not only pure materials were studied, but also dual- or multi-component composite materials attracted considerable attention owing to the combined advantages of each component.…”
