Requirements for elastomers used as dielectric elastomers (DEs) are many and are eurrently not all met by one single elastomer. For dielectric elastomers, several good candidates exist, each with their particular strength. In the following sections, the four major types of elastomers are discussed in more detail, namely, silicones, acrylates, polyurethanes, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) copolymers.
