Sumario: | The electro deformability of an actuating unit of a polyurethane dielectric elastomer (PUDE) is affected by many factors. The agglomeration of dielectric fillers faced by the traditional dielectric modification methods will lead to the instability of the actuation performance of dielectric composites. In addition, the electro deformability (ability of deformation after voltage loading) is great affected by the selection of flexible electrodes and packaging technology. Based on the research findings, Diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanat (MDI)-polyurethane dielectric composite fiber membrane filled with barium titanate (BaTiO(3)) is prepared using coaxial spinning, and this study then analyzes the effects of the types of flexible electrodes and coating methods on the electro deformability of the actuating unit of the dielectric composite fiber membrane. It is found that the electro deformability of the actuating unit coated with the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) flexible electrode is better than that of the perfluoropolyether conductive grease (PCG) or the traditional conductive carbon grease (CCG) electrode in various degrees. When the loading voltage is 20 kV, the electro deformability of the actuating unit coated with SWNT flexible electrode exceeds the latter two electrodes by 13.8%; when the SWNT flexible electrode is encapsulated by physical surface implantation (PSI), the electric deformation of the actuating unit is higher than that of the solvent suspension dispersion (SSD). |
