Soft dielectric elastomer actuator micropump
This paper presents a miniaturized soft dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) micropump which was demonstrated in microfluidic application. A strain-induced pre-stretched DEA undergoes expansion when subjected to high voltage, providing a two-way actuation in the presence of a pull-up spring. The DEA...
