Excited to share that Rubber Heart is collaborating on a Wave Energy Scotland (WES)-funded project led by TTI Marine Renewables Ltd on dielectric elastomer generators (DEGs) for wave energy – helping to advance this technology towards real-world application.

Our partners Endurica and ACE Laboratories are delivering the initial fatigue testing on potential elastomers to assess how these materials perform under real-world conditions.

Driving innovation forward through cross-collaboration is at the heart of this project. A new LinkedIn group has just been set up focused on all aspects of electroactive polymer technologies, with the goal of connecting researchers, engineers and industry professionals working on EAP materials, devices and applications – whether in energy harvesting, actuation, sensing, soft robotics, or beyond.

If you’re working in this space, we’d love for you to join the conversation!
