Abstract
An electroactive material fluid control apparatus () is provided. The electroactive material fluid control apparatus () comprises a layered assembly () comprised of a dielectric layer () disposed between a first plate () and a second plate (). The electroactive material fluid control apparatus () also includes a first fluid port () formed in an outer surface of the layered assembly (), and at least one fluid control device () comprised of an electrode (-) disposed between the first plate () and a dielectric deformable material (-), wherein the electrode (-) is attached to the dielectric deformable material (-). The at least one fluid control device () is fluidly coupled to the first fluid port () via a fluid path () in the dielectric layer () and the electrode (-) is coupled to a connector () that extends away from the layered assembly () in a direction parallel to the dielectric layer ().
