In recent decades the use of soft materials as ‘active’ materials, especially as soft actuators for robotics applications, has grown. One thrust of work has focused on the use of porous elastomers, with direct control of the pore pressure as the actuation mechanism. Motivated by this interest, we investigate here the behavior of porous elastomeric […]
