Abstract

A dielectric elastomer actuator, having a multi-layer structure. The multi-layer structure comprises single elastomer layers and single electrode layers composited on upper and lower surfaces of the single elastomer layer, or multiple layers formed by alternately stacking single elastomer layers and single electrode layers. The thickness of the single electrode layer is 1 μm, and the thickness of the single elastomer layer is less than or equal to 5 μm. The thickness of the dielectric elastomer is reduced to the ultra-thin nanometer scale, and the effects of driving at low voltage and realizing large deformation, rapid response and high elastic recovery can be implemented by controlling the thicknesses of the electrode layer and the electrode layer of the dielectric elastomer actuator, and combining parameters such as appropriate modulus, sheet resistance, and relative dielectric constant and selection of materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of dielectric elastomer drivers, and relates to a dielectric elastomer driver, a preparation method thereof, and a transducer, in particular to a low-voltage-driven dielectric elastomer driver, a preparation method thereof, and a transducer . Background technique [0002] Electroactive polymers (EAP) refer to polymer materials that can produce large deformations under electrical stimulation. EAP materials can be divided into two types: self-supporting and electronic. Electronic EAPs can be further divided into electrostrictive elastomers, ferroelectric polymers and dielectric elastomers (dielectric elastomer, DE). Among them, the dielectric elastomer refers to an elastic material with a high dielectric constant, which can change its shape after an external electric field is applied to it, and can return to its original shape after the external electric field is removed. This process, accompanied by the ge...
