  ABSTRACT: We are investigating a polymer soft actuator using a poly urethane elastomer film that bends by an applied voltage, which is based on the electrostriction. In this article, the bending magnitude was studied in a weight-loaded condition. It was found that the thinner film can bend the more without any load, but that the film of 200-μm thickness gave the largest bending when weights were loaded. The thickness of some degree is critical for large bending torque.
