摘要
Electroactive elastomers are composites made of solid particles embedded in an elastomeric network whose mechanical or optical properties can be changed by the application of an electric or a magnetic field. These materials have obviously a strong connection with ER and MR fluids and on be more appropriated for some applications. We present recent results concerning two kinds of filled elastomer, one based on carbonyl iron particles and the second one on silica particles. In the first case we show that the change of elastic properties obtained by the application of a magnetic field depend dramatically on the way we have structured the suspension before the polymerization. We explain quantitatively these experimental results with the help of finite element calculation to predict the magnetic forces between the particles. In the second case we show how it is possible to modulate the transmission of a laser beam by shearing a thin elastomeric film whose particles have been initially aligned with the help of an electric field. Some applications related to the organization of the filler particles by the application of a field or a combination of a field and a flow before polymerization will be discussed.
