Taming the viscoelastic creep of dielectric elastomer actuators

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

We present a simple open-loop method to suppress the viscoelastic drift of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Viscoelastic creep is one of the drawbacks of DEAs, especially when made with acrylic elastomer membranes (VHB). This leads to a time-dependen ...

Mild synthesis of mercaptonitriles from vinyl nitriles and their cyclization reactions

Frank Nüesch, Antonia Neels

Thiol-ene addition of thioacetic acid A is widely used in the synthesis of thiols from vinyl precursors, but so far has not been conducted on non-conjugated vinyl nitriles. The challenge when vinyl nitriles are used is to selectively conduct the thiol-ene ...
