Abstract

Dielectric elastomers (DE) can potentially generate large electrically induced strains with high energy and power densities. DE are often based on commercial acrylic and silicone elastomers, each having their respective limitations. A processable, high-performance dielectric elastomer (PHDE) with a bimodal network structure will be presented. Its electromechanical properties are tailored to obtain maximum areal strain greater than 100% without prestretching. A hybrid stacking process enables multilayer actuators that maintain the high actuation performance of single-layer films.
