Silicone-based elastomer actuators were investigated to develop a easy and industrially scalable product with enhanced mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, low Young's modulus, and good resilience, and improved electromechanical actuation property. Silicone elastomers were synthesized via hydrosilylation addition reaction using vinyl-end-functionalized poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), multi-vinyl functionalized silicone resin and a crosslinker in presence of platinum catalyst and retarder. For the larger electromechanical actuation property, the silicone dielectric elastomer should have larger molecular weight of PDMS, smaller hardener content, and resin-free composition. However, silicone dielectric elastomer actuator needed to include small amount of resin to improve tearing strength. |
