  title = {Dielectric elastomer actuators with elastomeric electrodes},
  abstract = { For many applications of dielectric elastomer actuators, it is desirable to replace the carbon-grease electrodes with stretchable, solid-state electrodes. Here, we attach thin layers of a conducting silicone elastomer to prestrained films of an acrylic dielectric elastomer and achieve voltage-actuated areal strains over 70\%. The influence of the stiffness of the electrodes and the prestrain of the dielectric films is studied experimentally and theoretically. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. },
