Soft robots based on dielectric elastomer actuators: a review (2019, background): “In another work, transfer function was identified to predict the creep effect in viscoelastic DEAs and an open loop controller was developed for effective compensation of creep and vibration in a circular DEA [81].”
Increasing the performance of dielectric elastomer actuators: A review from the materials perspective (2015, background): “present below a brief overview of the two main electrode types: metal thin film and carbonbased electrodes (Figure 16), the reader can find a comprehensive and recent review on their characteristics and approaches in reference [155].”
Rollable Multisegment Dielectric Elastomer Minimum Energy Structures for a Deployable Microsatellite Gripper (2015, background): “Compliant electrodes are a key challenge for DEAs [13].”
Stretchable electronics: functional materials, fabrication strategies and applications (2019, background): “Applying a voltage between the electrodes electrostatically compresses the elastomer, which deforms in-plane or out-of-plane depending on design [250].”
