Connection between micron-sized defects and dielectric strength of poly(dimethylsiloxane) elastomer films

The quality of dielectric elastomer (DE) films is a key factor affecting the reliability of DE actuators. Reported here is the effect of the number of micron-sized defects on dielectric strength (DS) for poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) DE films. Using the same PDMS formulation but different procedures...
