Abstrakt: The article examines the effects of silicon rubber (SR) networks on the behavior of acrylate rubber (AR)-based dielectric actuators. The diffusion of SR chains into a swollen AR networks is conducted in the presence of a cosolvent. The silicone chains were chemically crosslinked in an attempt to form an interpenetrating polymer network. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were used to confirm the presence of SR in the AR network.
