Polyvinyl chloride-based dielectric elastomer with high permittivity and low viscoelasticity for actuation and sensing

Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are widely used in soft actuators but existing DE actuators often require high driving electrical fields. Here the authors demonstrate that introducing cyanoethyl cellulose into plasticized PVC gel confers high dielectric permittivity and allows the fabrication of elastom...
