DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201601842 voltages (100–300 V) can be achieved by using much
thinner elastomer films (3 μm),[14] but such films are very fragile and difficult to manipulate to …

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are flexible lightweight actuators that can generate
strains of over 100%. They are used in applications ranging from haptic feedback (mm-sized …

For many applications of dielectric elastomer actuators, it is desirable to replace the carbon-
grease electrodes with stretchable, solid-state electrodes. Here, we attach thin layers of a …

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are soft electromechanical devices that exhibit large
energy densities and fast actuation rates. They are typically produced by planar methods …

This paper investigates the use of elastomeric dielectric materials with compliant electrodes
as a means of actuation. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, the elastomeric films …

We demonstrate the fabrication of fully printed thin dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs),
reducing the operation voltage below 300 V while keeping good actuation strain. DEAs are …

Electro-active polymers (EAPs) are emerging as feasible materials to mimic muscle-like
actuation. Among EAPs, dielectric elastomer (DE) devices are soft or flexible capacitors …

This paper reviews the developments in dielectric elastomer actuator technology for several
applications. Dielectric elastomers are a variety of electroactive polymer that deform due to …

Dielectric elastomers (DEs) can act as deformable capacitors that generate mechanical work
in response to an electric field. DEs are often based on commercial acrylic and silicone …

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are an attractive form of electromechanical transducer,
possessing high energy densities, an efficient design, mechanical flexibility, high speed, and …
