Experimental investigations of skin-like material and computation of its material properties

In this research, an experimental investigation is carried out with pure silicone of five different grades and blended mixture of different grades of silicone at 1:1 volume fraction for the development of a skin-like soft material for robotic applications. The samples are prepared by compression mol...
