Dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) based on dielectric elastomer holds promising applications in soft robotics. Compliant electrodes with large stretchability and high electrical conductivity are the vital components for the DEAs. In this study, a type of DEA was developed using carbon nanotube/polyvinyl alcohol (CNT/PVA) hydrogel electrodes. The CNT/PVA hydrogel electrodes demonstrate a stretchability up to 200% with a small relative resistance change of approximately 1.2, and a self-healing capability. The areal strain of the DEA based on the CNT/PVA hydrogel electrodes is more than 40%, much higher than the ones based on pure PVA electrodes.

Nanotwins in metallic nanowires can improve mechanical strength and maintain high electrical conductivity. We demonstrated a method of pulse laser assisted electrodeposition, which can generate dense nanotwins with different directions in copper nanowires of uniform length. Transmission electron microcopy characterization shows at lower electrochemical potential of −0.2 Volt, nanotwins tend to align along the longitudinal direction of the nanowires whereas at the high potential −0.8 Volt, nanotwins of {111}/<112> type that cross the width of the wire are formed. We investigated the two types of nanotwins by comparing the microstructures under different electrochemistry and laser setting. Two different mechanisms are proposed for two kinds of nanotwin — annealing twins and growth twins.

Copper Base Alloy

Abstract CDA C18700 is a copper-base alloy containing lead (nominally 1.0%). The lead is added to impart free-cutting properties to the metal. Although the lead lowers the electrical conductivity of CDA C18700 slightly below that of tough-pitch copper, it still has high electrical conductivity well within the limits needed for most current-carrying requirements. Typical uses comprise electrical motor and switch parts, electrical connectors and screw-machine parts requiring high conductivity. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and shear strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-533. Producer or source: Copper and copper alloy mills.
