Development of a novel tubular dielectric elastomer pump for low power bio-mimetic applications
Dielectric elastomer (DE) actuators are low power, soft, electrically actuated 'artificial muscles' that offer the potential to emulate many of the actuators found in nature; including biological pumps such as cilia and peristaltic tubes. However, a low power pump based on tubular DE actua...
