NONEQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMERS (2011, background): “This phenomenon is being developed as a mechanism of electromechanical transduction, of large deformation, low cost, light weight, high efficiency, and noise-free operation [Pelrine et al., 2000; Ha et al., 2006; Zhao and Suo, 2010].”
Theory of dielectric elastomers (2010, background): “In the last decade, strains over 100% have been achieved in several ways, by pre-stretching an elastomer[3], by using an elastomer of interpenetrating networks[54,55], by swelling an elastomer with a solvent[56], and by spraying charge on an electrode-free elastomer [57].”
The static actuation of dielectric elastomer actuators: how does pre-stretch improve actuation? (2008, background): “This might be achievable with inter-penetrating networks [34].”
Resonant behavior of a membrane of a dielectric elastomer (2010, methodology): “+1 617 4960601. configuration has been used in experiments by several groups (Ha et al., 2006; Heydt et al., 2006; Goulbourne et al., 2007; Fox and Goulbourne, 2008, 2009).”
Increasing the performance of dielectric elastomer actuators: A review from the materials perspective (2015, background): “[92] developed an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) to produce a similar actuation performance as highly pre-stretched DEAs.”
Soft robots based on dielectric elastomer actuators: a review (2019, background): “Some progress has been made to modify the elastomer compositions, such as decoupling the elastomer into two interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) [78].”
