Energy harvesting performance of viscoelastic polyacrylic dielectric elastomers

Energy harvesting performance of viscoelastic polyacrylic dielectric elastomers

Viscoelasticity dissipates the mechanical energy, leading to a reduction of energy conversion efficiency in both dielectric elastomer (DE) actuators and generators. By measuring the uniaxial tension-recovery experiments of very-high-bond-based DE, this article quantitatively presents the effect of v...
