离子导体驱动的介电弹性体软机器研究进展

基于介电弹性体的软机器在柔性机器人、能量收集、柔性电子等领域有着广泛的应用。传统的介电弹性器件由不透明的流体碳膏电极或其他硬材料制作的电子导体来驱动。可拉伸透明离子导体作为电极驱动介电弹性体时，两种软材料互相结合，为软机器提供了一种独特的实现方式。本文综述了离子导体驱动的介电弹性体软机器的近期研究进展，展望了未来的研究方向和存在的问题。

Dielectric elastomers based soft machines actuated by ionic conductors: progress and perspectives

Dielectric elastomer-based soft machines have been widely applied to soft robots, energy harvesters, flexible electronics, etc. Conventional dielectric elastomer devices are actuated by non-transparent carbon paste electrodes or electronic conductors made of hard materials. Instead, the stretchable and transparent ionic conductors, with two soft materials combined, open the door to a unique way in the realization of soft machines. In this review, the recent progress on dielectric elastomer-based soft machines actuated by ionic conductors is summarized; several future research topics and perspectives with respect to this area are also suggested. Key words: ionic conductor, dielectric elastomer, hydrogel, ionogel, soft machine.
