Abstract
We developed a novel carbon black (CB) ink and tailored it for compatibility with the small cartridge nozzles (17x17 µm) of inkjet printers. With this ink, we printed a precise pattern on a dielectric elastomer membrane (VHB). By combining a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) next to the printed CB pattern, its resistance could be significantly changed (> 3 orders of magnitude) accompanied with actuation and non-actuation of the DEA. Thanks to its excellent piezoresistive performance, we have successfully applied this dielectric elastomer-based device as a “switch” for controlling soft grippers and as a multiplexer for signal processing.
