TY - JOUR A1 - Stoyanov, Hristiyan A1 - Kollosche, Matthias A1 - Risse, Sebastian A1 - Wache, Remi A1 - Kofod, Guggi T1 - Soft conductive elastomer materials for stretchable electronics and voltage controlled artificial muscles JF - Advanced materials N2 - Block copolymer elastomer conductors (BEC) are mixtures of block copolymers grafted with conducting polymers, which are found to support very large strains, while retaining a high level of conductivity. These novel materials may find use in stretchable electronics. The use of BEC is demonstrated in a capacitive strain sensor and in an artificial muscle of the dielectric elastomer actuator type, supporting more than 100% actuation strain and capacity strain sensitivity up to 300%.
