Victhom is conducting a project to develop artificial muscles for human prosthetics, using dielectric elastomer technology. ... Ten polymer actuator film materials were considered for fabrication of the micro-actuators. ... The performance requirements included an actuation force of between 10 Newtons (N) and 50N, an actuation displacement between 10 mm and 100 mm and a response time between 0.01 second and 1 second for a device 200 mm in length and 50 mm in width.
