Soft composite actuators of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene)-based nanofibers and polydimethylsiloxane: Fabrication, electromechanical characterization, and dynamic modeling

Nanofibrous unimorph cantilever beam soft actuators offer remarkable advantages, such as rapid viscoelastic relaxation, low power consumption, and high weight-specific properties. However, the presence of high porosity in the nanofibrous active layer poses a challenge due to its low breakdown voltag...
