Inhibiting electro-thermal breakdown of acrylic dielectric elastomer actuators by dielectric gel coating
Electrical breakdown of dielectricelastomer actuators (DEA) is very localized; a spark and a pinhole (puncture) in dielectric ends up with short-circuit. This letter shows that prevention of electrothermal breakdown helps defer failure of DEAs even with conductive-grease electrodes.Dielectricgel enc...
