a Schematic illustration of actuation mechanism and chemical structures of our high-performance DE. b Variation of the stress-strain curves of DA-aggregated nanodomains physical crosslinked network and uncrosslinked network. c Ashby plot summarizing maximum actuation area strains to electric fields of this work and other pre-stretched and stable DEs. d Ashby plot summarizing specific energy to specific power of this work and other DEs. VHB 4910 represented the measured value of VHB 4910 in this work.
