Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) have developed a new type of soft, flexible material called a “high-dielectric-constant elastomer.”
This material improves the performance of smart wearables by making them more reliable and energy-efficient.
The elastomer has a high dielectric constant, storing more electric charge, while keeping dielectric loss low, minimizing energy loss.
The material is durable, responding quickly and functioning reliably even with frequent bending and stretching.
