1. Force-strain characteristics of Peano-HASEL actuators using hydrogel and aluminum electrodes.
Force-strain characteristics of Peano-HASEL actuators using hydrogel and aluminum electrodes. (A) Comparison of the force-strain curves for two Peano-HASEL actuators, one using hydrogel and the other using aluminum electrodes, revealing no difference in performance. A maximum of 10% strain was observed under a 20-g load at 10-kV applied voltage. (B) A hydrogel-electrode actuator was mounted on an acrylic stand for actuation tests and demonstrated contraction under 20-g load at 8 kV. (C) An aluminum-electrode actuator was mounted on an acrylic stand for actuation tests and demonstrated contraction under 20-g load at 8 kV.
