Soft actuator with a large deflection range and a high degree of reliability is essential for microfluidic applications. This paper presents a self-healing fluidic dielectric elastomer actuator (SFDEA) fabricated using ecoflex 00–30. An SFDEA consist of an elastomeric shell filled with dielectric fl...
