Dielectric elastomer cylindrical actuators: electromechanical modelling and experimental evaluation (2004, unknown): “The actuating performances of elastomeric dielectric materials, used as electromechanical polymer transducers, have been assessed and continuously improved during the last few years, so that devices made of dielectric elastomers represent today one of the best technologies for polymer actuation [1–6”
Helical dielectric elastomer actuators (2005, unknown): “So far, several shape configurations for dielectric elastomer actuators have been proposed, demonstrated and studied, including planar, tube, roll, extender, diaphragm and bender [4–13].”
Translucent soft robots driven by frameless fluid electrode dielectric elastomer actuators (2018, methodology): “Fluidic electrodes have been used in DEAs to induce buckling of elastomer films on a microfluidic chip (9); in a thickened electrolyte solution for planar actuators (29); and for one of the two electrodes in a pressurized ballooning actuator (30), a bimorph actuator (31), and a fast-moving electroni”
