Abstract

The invention discloses an application of a block polymer as a dielectric elastomer. The structural general formula of the block polymer is B-C-D, wherein B and D are independently selected from a styrene homopolymer or a methyl methacrylate homopolymer; C is selected from a butyl acrylate homopolymer, a n-butyl acrylate homopolymer, a n-butyl methacrylate homopolymer, a isobutyl methacrylate homopolymer, a tert-butyl acrylate homopolymer, a 2-ethylhexyl acrylate homopolymer, an iso-octyl acrylate homopolymer, an ethyl acrylate homopolymer or a homopolymer of at least two kinds of butyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, iso-octyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate. The block polymer can have larger deformation under high-frequency driving without swelling by a solvent and can be used as the dielectric elastomer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of dielectric elastomers, in particular to the application of a block polymer as a dielectric elastomer. Background technique [0002] Dielectric Elastomer (DE) is a kind of polymer material that can produce huge deformation under the action of an external electric field. It has many advantages such as high energy density, fast response speed, high energy conversion efficiency, and low operating noise. It is widely used. In artificial muscles, micro-robots, energy harvesters, sensors, microfluidic control, Braille display devices, etc., it has broad development prospects in bionic robots, green energy, medicine, aerospace and other fields. [0003] The working principle of the dielectric elastomer is to use the insulating elastomer to deform under the Maxwell force along the thickness direction in the electric field, thereby converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The dielectric elastomer actuator is to ...
