Biaxially compliant metal thin film electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuators

Dielectric elastomer actuators are soft actuators that can attain high actuated strains of more than 100%. In order to cater to such large strains, its electrodes have to be able to follow the elastomer’s large deformations. Metal thin films, which have high-conductivities, are much stiffer and may...
