Abstract
Dielectric elastomer fiber actuators can respond to external stimuli and thereby mimic natural muscles. In this work, we developed a continuous wet spinning method to prepare silicone fibers using a photocurable thiol-ene reaction. The optimized fiber exhibits seven times higher tensile strain and five times greater tensile strength compared to those of the planar film. The developed fiber actuator exhibits a large and stable linear actuation strain. The work presented herein provides a pathway for creating active soft matter with complex architectures to enable fast programmable actuation for multiple applications including artificial muscles.
