Electroactive polymers (EAP) when stimulated by an electric field, these polymers exhibit a change in size and shape. Can be used as actuators or sensors. Diaelectric elastomers are material systems producing large strains. They transform electric energy into mechanical. These capacitors consist of elastomer film sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. When voltage is applied the electrode squeeze the [...]
