摘要
A low-viscosity, solvent-free process for the fabrication of thin silicone films for dielectric elastomer actuators is presented. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and specially designed co-monomers that function as cross-linkers are pre-polymerized to a liquid of low viscosity. This liquid is used to prepare thin films, which are then fully polymerized to a highly transparent, cross-linked elastomer. The mechanical and electromechanical properties of the films are easily tuned by altering the amount of cross-linker co-monomer used.
