Abstract
A low‐viscosity, solvent‐free process for the fabrication of thin silicone films for dielectric elastomer actuators is presented. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and specially designed co‐monomers that function as cross‐linkers are pre‐polymerized to a liquid of low viscosity. This liquid is used to prepare thin films, which are then fully polymerized to a highly transparent, cross‐linked elastomer. The mechanical and electromechanical properties of the films are easily tuned by altering the amount of cross‐linker co‐monomer used.
