Dielectric electroactive polymer

Dielectric electroactive polymer comprising an elastomer layer arranged between two compliant elastomer electrodes characterized by the fact that at least one of said compliant elastomer electrodes is obtained by ion implantation on said elastomer layer. The dielectric electroactive polymer according to the invention may advantageously be used in an actuator, a sensor or in a power source. The invention also includes a process for manufacturing a dielectric electroactive polymer.
