Abstract: Recent work has demonstrated the potential of actuators consisting of bulk elastomers with phase‐changing inclusions for generating high forces and large volumetric expansions. Simultaneously, granular assemblies have been shown to enable tunable properties via different… read more here.

Abstract: In this article, we have established an analytical model to estimate the quasi-static bending displacement (i.e., angle) of the pneumatic actuators made of two different elastomeric silicones (Elastosil M4601 with a bulk modulus of elasticity… read more here.
