独立式单组分介电致动器是基于瓶刷弹性体设计的，其能够在相对低的电场下实现巨大的可逆冲程，并且完全避免预致动机械操作。这种材料设计平台允许在不改变化学成分的情况下在宽范围内独立调整致动器的刚度和弹性，这为软物质机器人技术带来了新的机遇。
Freestanding, single-component dielectric actuators are designed based on bottlebrush elastomers that enable giant reversible strokes at relatively low electric fields and altogether avoid preactuation mechanical manipulation. This materials design platform allows for independent tuning of actuator rigidity and elasticity over broad ranges without changing chemical composition, which opens new opportunities in soft-matter robotics.
