Effect of plasticizer on the electric-eld-induced adhesion
electrically induced microstructure and the mechanical properties of the gels [11–13]. Recently, the inuence of plasticizer content on the electromechanical behavior of PVC gel actuators has been reported [14]. Considering the importance of gel composition, investigation into the effect of different plasticizers on the electrical and
Effect of plasticizer on the electric-field-induced adhesion
The plasticizers were classified on the basis of their mechanical properties, space charge distribution, dielectric properties and the electric field adhesion of the PVC gels. The molecular interaction between PVC and the plasticizers was clarified by Raman spectroscopy. Experimental Materials
Effect of plasticizer on the electric-field-induced adhesion
The chemical structure and molecular weight of the plasticizers significantly affected the electric-field-induced adhesion of the gels. To explain the variations, the dielectric properties,...
Synergistic and counteractive effects of Bi-component plasticizers on
In this work, the effect of the bi-component plasticizers on the structure, mechanical properties, dielectric properties, and electric field induced dynamic bending actuation behaviors of plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) gels with free electrodes were investigated using the dibutyl adipate (DBA) as major plasticizer and the branch
Effect of plasticizer on the electric-field-induced adhesion
The chemical structure and molecular weight of the plasticizers significantly affected the electric-field-induced adhesion of the gels. To explain the variations, the dielectric properties, space charge distributions, tensile properties and Raman spectra of the PVC gels were compared.
- Can plasticizers be added to PVC gels?
- The addition of plasticizers to PVC gels can lead to charging and polarization under an electric field, enabling free dipole reorientation of the PVC chain segments within a limited frequency range.
- Do plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) gels deform in an electric field?
- The deformation of plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) gels in an electric field was considered to result from the electric charging and the interaction between the electrodes. Basic experiments were carried out to investigate the deformation response of PVC gels.
- Do adipate plasticizers form intermolecular bonds?
- Fig. 1b displays the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra of the prepared PVC gels, confirming that each adipate plasticizer is physically dispersed in the PVC chain without forming any specific intermolecular bonds (Fig. S2).
- Does polarization support the Maxwell force arising from PVC gel deformation?
- These results may well support the Maxwell force arising from the polarization of charges and the deformation of PVC gels that occurred on the anode. With this force, the PVC gel is deformed asymmetrically and stretched along the anode.
- Can Plasticized PVC gels be used under extreme environmental conditions?
- However, no study has been conducted to date in the case of plasticized PVC gels under extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature or pressure where TENG can be applied, such as in self-powered monitoring sensors, shape change, and unstable output due to plasticizer leakage.
- What are adipate plasticizers?
- Adipate plasticizers contain two carbonyl groups (C O) in a linear configuration at the center and alkyl chains (R) on both sides. In this study, we used five adipate plasticizers with different numbers of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, including DMA, DEA, DBA, DOA, and DDA, to synthesize adipate PVC gel (Fig. S1).
