Abstract:A common method for creating compliant electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and soft sensors is to incorporate electrically conductive carbon particles into a polymer matrix. However, using unidirectional aligned carbon fibers instead not only forms a conductive network but also results in a highly mechanically anisotropic electrode. While there is ongoing research to explain the dynamic non-monotonic conductivity-strain behavior of particle-based percolative systems, the mechanics of fiber-bas… Show more
