Abstract
An actuator to get the harmony of a human being and the machine includes a dielectric elastomer actuator. Because an actuator is flexible, it is said that the movement that was thought that it is impossible until now enabled. The dielectric elastomer actuators have flexible electrodes to the both sides of the elastomer. These actuators are driven by the high voltage. Previous studies, the electrodes of the actuator were made of the acrylic polymer and carbon particles. However, the deformation of the elastomer actuator was small. In this study, we created and investigated the flexible electrodes made from carbon nanotubes and carbon particles.
