Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of dielectric elastomers, and specifically discloses an acrylic ester dielectric elastomer with high dielectric constant and low modulus. Background Art
[0002] Some polymers can change shape and size in response to external stimuli (such as light, electric fields, and magnetic fields). Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are among the most widely studied. As the name suggests, EAPs are polymer materials that respond to an applied electric field. Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are a highly sought-after electroactive smart material. They can convert electrical input into mechanical output, and vice versa, efficiently achieving force-to-electricity conversion.
[0003] Dielectric elastomers have large deformation (>100%) and high energy density (>3.4MJ / m 3 ), which responds quickly and is similar to the natural muscles of the human body when deformed by force, and is often used to make actuators. In practical applications, dielectric elastomer actuators are involved in the fields of bionics, biomedicine, and aerospace. Dielectric elastomers can be mainly divided into three categories according to the material: acrylates, silicone rubber, and polyurethane. However, acrylates still have some defects, such as slow creep recovery, which affects their drive recovery performance, large viscoelasticity, and high sensitivity to temperature and humidity. Compared with acrylates, silicone rubber dielectric elastomers have a wider operating temperature range and smaller viscoelastic hysteresis, but silicone rubber is a non-polar material with a relatively low dielectric constant (~2.8), which makes it relatively small when used as a dielectric elastomer actuator. At the same time, it also has a very low energy density (0.75 J / cm 3 ). Therefore, to improve the driving performance of silicone rubber as a flexible actuator, a pre-strain of 50-150% is generally applied, which in turn requires additional stretching devices. Although polyurethane elastomers have a high dielectric constant (>7), breakdown strength, and a certain thickness strain, compared to acrylics and silicone rubber, polyurethane has a higher Young's modulus. This defect will reduce its electric driving performance in flexible actuator applications, and it is more difficult to improve the electric driving strain performance through pre-stretching. Therefore, how to improve the driving performance of dielectric elastomers has always been a hot research topic.
[0004] Methods for improving the driving performance of dielectric elastomers primarily include reducing their elastic modulus and thickness, and increasing their dielectric constant and driving voltage. However, when the applied electric field exceeds the maximum voltage the material can withstand, the dielectric elastomer film will be damaged, resulting in driving failure.
[0005] Improving driving performance by reducing the elastic modulus often leads to changes in other film properties, such as viscosity loss and hysteresis. Too low an elastic modulus can lead to a loss of mechanical stability and integrity of the elastomer, impairing the long-term performance and life of the material.
[0006] Reducing the film thickness can make the material produce a larger driving strain at a smaller voltage. Reducing the film thickness is generally achieved by pre-stretching. In addition, pre-stretching can also rearrange the polymer molecular chains perpendicular to the direction of the applied electric field, thereby limiting the flow of charge and improving the dielectric strength. However, the main commercial dielectric elastomer VHB4910 currently requires a reinforcing frame to maintain the pre-stretched state after pre-stretching, and it will cause stress relaxation and fatigue. Although the interpenetrating polymer network structure can solve the problem of reinforcing the frame, the thickness of the film produced on a large scale can only reach 10-20μm at most. If the thickness is further reduced, the unevenness of the film will increase, which will cause the film to be locally subjected to high electric fields and stresses, resulting in premature electrical breakdown.
[0007] The dielectric constant is one of the key parameters that determines the performance of dielectric elastomers. However, existing polymer elastomer materials (such as natural rubber, silicone rubber, and polyurethane elastomers) all have relatively low dielectric constants. A common approach to increasing the dielectric constant is to add high-dielectric-constant or conductive fillers to the liquid elastomer matrix. However, solid fillers can agglomerate in liquid elastomer matrices, leading to localized stress concentrations and a sharp increase in the material modulus. Therefore, optimizing the driving performance of dielectric elastomers remains a question that requires further in-depth research. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To overcome these challenges, the present invention copolymerizes polyacrylonitrile (AN) and / or 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl acrylate (PFOEA) with butyl acrylate (BA) to introduce highly polar groups, resulting in an acrylate-based dielectric elastomer with a high dielectric constant. T-butyl acrylate can also be copolymerized to adjust the polymer's viscoelastic properties. The acrylate-based dielectric elastomer exhibits excellent actuation performance and a low elastic modulus, making it suitable for applications in fields such as electroactive actuation.

[0054] Example 1
[0055] Weigh 3.5g of CN9021NS with an analytical balance and calculate the total molar amount of the comonomer using a crosslink density of 0.26% (referring to the ratio of the number of double bond functional groups of the crosslinker to the total number of double bond functional groups of the comonomer. The crosslinker CN9021NS is bifunctional, and the total molar amount of the comonomer is calculated as the ratio of twice the molar amount of the crosslinker to the crosslink density.

The solutions were mixed in a beaker and stirred at 500 rpm for 30 minutes to prepare the precursor solution.
[0056] After vacuum degassing the precursor solution for 15 minutes, an appropriate amount was deposited onto an optical glass slide. The thickness of the resulting polymer film was determined using spacers, and a coverslip was placed over the solution. The solution was then cured under a 250W UV light source at a wavelength of 480nm for 20 minutes. The resulting sample was then cured in a 40°C vacuum oven for 24 hours to remove any residual monomers. After demolding, a high-k dielectric elastomer with acrylic acid was obtained.

[0079] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the PBA-AN (Examples 1 and 2) series has relatively excellent elongation at break and relatively satisfactory tensile strength, which can meet the pre-tensile test of the sample.
[0080] The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of each sample in Examples 1 and 2 were measured at 50 KHz and are shown in Table 1 below.
