Photothermal modulated dielectric elastomer actuator for resilient soft robots
Tough and healable elastomers are promising materials to realize resilient soft robots but mechanical enhancements often lead to higher stiffness that deteriorates actuation strains. Here, the authors introduce liquid metal nanoparticles into carboxyl polyurethane elastomer to sensitize a dielectric...
