Stress measurements of planar dielectric elastomer actuators
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2016Dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) micro- and nano-structures are referred to artificial muscles because of their specific continuous power and adequate time response. The bending measurement of an asymmetric, planar DEA is described. The asymmetric cantilevers consist of 1 or 5 μm-thin DEAs deposited on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates 16 ...

Polychloroprene: a new material for Dielectric Elastomer Actuators.
MRS Proceedings, 2011ABSTRACTDielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) consist of an elastomeric layer sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. An electric field applied between the two electrodes will lead to a compression of the elastomer due to the Maxwell’s pressure. DEA can be used for many active applications such as pumps, muscles and so on, where the voltage drives

Bending Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
ECS Meeting AbstractsDielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) are a type of electroactive polymers that transform electric energy into mechanical work and are capable of large strains and high energy densities. DEAs are often described as “artificial muscles” because they exhibit strains, energy density, and responsiveness similar to natural human muscles.
