Methods to prevent electrothermal breakdown of acrylic dielectric elastomer actuators
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are soft capacitors which can produce large strains as comparable to mammal muscles when activated by high voltage. They are potentially used to make muscle-like actuators, so they are widely termed as ‘artificial muscles’. But, their demonstrated performance...
