Multilayer Actuators

Multilayer Actuators is a dielectric elastomer actuation configuration consisting of multiple stacked layers of active dielectric elastomer films and compliant electrodes, distinguished by its ability to achieve higher force output and displacement at lower electric fields compared to single-layer counterparts through cumulative electromechanical response.
