Dr. Mufeng Liu
Dr. Mufeng Liu is a senior research associate at the University of Manchester, specializing in dielectric elastomer generators (DEGs). His expertise lies in elastomeric multifunctional nanocomposites. He has worked with a wide range of elastomeric materials, including natural rubber, nitrile rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, silicone rubber, and thermo-plastic elastomers. Liu's focus is on the mechanical, dynamic mechanical, electromechanical, and transport properties of elastomers, which are critical for understanding the deformation modes of DEGs in different environments.
