Abstract

Multifunctional soft martials with good conductivity, flexibilities and stiffness tunable capabilities are key to developing soft robots. In this paper, we developed an innovative stiffness-tunable soft conducting elastomer by encapsulating liquid metal filled porous sponge with ecoflex. The elastomer exhibits good flexibility and conductivity in large scale of stretching, bending and twisting. Meanwhile, elastomer can enhance its stiffness by up to 8 times under external magnetic field. These characteristics of the elastomer provide great potential for future soft robots and actuators design.
