Towards planar micromanipulators based on dielectric elastomers in thickness mode
Original language description
The paper describes the authors' initial steps in the domain of advanced micromanipulators based on dielectric elastomers. Namely, local deformation of a thin (~10um) elastomer film as a result of Maxwell pressure on the surface is analyzed. The ultimate goal of this initiating research is to develop a deformable surface that could be used for planar manipulation with flat objects. Induced surface travelling wave, for instance, could be used to achieve simple transportation of samples in the style of common linear ultrasonic motors. The early achievements presented in this paper include trivial yet tedious fabrication procedures of a PDMS film sandwiched between two sputtered gold electrodes, and some laboratory experiments. Deformation observed withan optical microscope partially agrees with the computational model developed in a FEM modeler/solver. The deviations from the model are discussed.
