Abstract

We present the development and applications of dielectric elastomers. For the last 10 years the significance of this class of polymers has risen as more applications seem possible and first products have been commercialized.

Keywords: compliant electrodes; dielectric elastomers; electroactive polymers; polyurethanes; silicones.
