CONT

Victhom is conducting a project to develop artificial muscles for human prosthetics, using dielectric elastomer technology. ... Ten polymer actuator film materials were considered for fabrication of the micro-actuators. ... Ranking of the film actuator materials was carried out using a figure of merit based on maximum thickness actuation strain. ... Kraton D-1161K, styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer thermoplastic elastomer, had the best potential performance based on the figure of merit calculations. This is directly related to the extremely large elongation to failure of this polymer.
