Abstract:

To solve the problems of high cost and low energy conversion efficiency of dielectroelastic actuator, the basic principle of dielectroelastic power generation and the research progress in its stretching mode were briefly introduced. The research progress in different configurations based on dielectroelastic actuator at home and abroad was also reviewed. The characteristics and application occasions of different types of actuators were analyzed, and their performance characteristics, mechanical properties and application modes were discused. Their processing technology and potential applications were introduced. Finally, the problems in the field of dielectroelastic actuators were described, and some suggestions on the solutions of these problems were proposed.

Key words: dielectric elastomer, actuator, stretch mode, electromechanical coupling
