The project involves modifying silicone with phenolic antioxidant as an agent that will enable the ability for the silicone to be used as a dielectric for elastomer actuators which have biomedical devices and soft robotics applications. The outcome of the project would be the discovery of new sustainable way to synthesize dielectric elastomer with green reagents, as well as antioxidant activities and enhanced performance as an actuator in terms of its durability and lifetime.
