Their exciting results on the development of a scalable miniature actuator setup with potential suitability for multi-line braille displays show that:
- Electrorheological fluids can be used in polymer matrices for the application in miniature actuators.
- Sedimentation and toxic compounds can be avoided by using eco-friendly oleogels in electrostatic actuators.
