Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) artificial muscle is a typical interdisciplinary research
category, which has developed by leaps and bounds in the past 20 years, showing great …

Soft robots need to be resilient to extend their operation under unpredictable environments.
While utilizing elastomers that are tough and healable is promising to achieve this …

This review is dedicated to self-healing silicone materials, which can partially or entirely
restore their original characteristics after mechanical or electrical damage is caused to them …

It is still a great challenge to synthesize waterborne polyurethane (WPU) with excellent
mechanical performance and fast room-temperature self-healing ability because of the …

The facile fabrication of robust, self-healable, and re-dissolvable polysiloxane elastomers for
use in recyclable flexible devices is highly desired yet quite a challenge. Herein, a strategy …

The application of silicone rubber as dielectric elastomer sensor is limited by its poor strain
sensing performance because of low dielectric constant (ε′). In this study, we designed and …

The overall performance of rubber is largely governed by its internal cross-linked network
structure. However, it remains a major challenge to probe into cross-linked networks …

Elastomers are widely used in traditional industries and new intelligent fields. However, they
are inevitably damaged by electricity, heat, force, etc. during the working process. With the …

Although many dynamic crosslinked silicone materials with repairability, reprocessability
and recyclability have already been developed, these materials are still challenged by their …

Soft actuators are gaining significant attention due to their ability to provide realistic tactile
sensations in various applications. However, their soft nature makes them vulnerable to …
