Abstract

Dielectric electroactive polymers (dEAP) may be used as artificial muscles, damping systems for machines or tactile displays in smartphones. They change their shape when a high voltage (kV) is applied. In this report, the production and function of a dEAP with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) as a dielectric and electrodes made of a conductive polymer poly (3.4-ethylene-dioxythiophene) / polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT/PSS) will be shown.
