Theory of dielectric elastomers

Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica, 2010
In response to a stimulus, a soft material deforms, and the deformation provides a function. We call such a material a soft active material (SAM). This review focuses on one class of soft active materials: dielectric elastomers. When a membrane of a dielectric elastomer is subject to a voltage through its thickness, the membrane reduces thickness and ...

Biomimetic Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

The First IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 2006. BioRob 2006., 2006
Polymer actuators offer attractive properties as biomimetic devices capable of mimicking functional characteristics of biological muscles and structures. This paper presents the ongoing research activities and the latest results achieved in our lab in the development of soft actuators made of a particular class of electroactive polymers, consisting of ...
