Metal films are seldom used as compliant electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) because they tend to restrain deformation of soft dielectrics. This work showed that silver film electrodes formed by electroless deposition (ELD) are indeed stretchable, and the DEA using ELD silver electrod...
