Dielectric Elastomers

Dielectric Elastomers is a class of electroactive smart materials that deform in response to an electric field due to the accumulation of electrostatic charges on compliant electrodes bounding a soft elastomeric dielectric layer, distinguishing them by their ability to generate large strain with high energy efficiency and fast response times.
