Most conventional polymer hydrogels have relatively low tensile strength and low elasticity, which limits their application capacity in the various field. The recent advances in stretchable hydrogels have attracted much interest in various applications such as soft robotics, smart sensors, drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc. Particularly , hydrogel actuators, converting the energy received from outside into mechanical motion, can exhibit soft and flexible motions similar to that of living creatures. In this study, we synthesized highly stretchable nanocomposite hydrogel to design the hydrogel actuator system with improve electric field actuation and physical properties. The gel fraction, equilibrium water content, and mechanical strength of stretchable hydrogel were investigated. In addition, their electro-mechanical response under an electric stimulus was investigated. |
