Abstract

A dielectric actuator 1 of the present invention has a structure in which an elastic, high-dielectric material portion 2 is held by elastic insulating material portions 3a and 3b and the elastic insulating material portions are held by electrodes 4a and 4b from the outside. A base material for the elastic, high-dielectric material portion 2 is formed of a silicon rubber and a graphite powder is mixed therein to apply a conductive property.
