Abstract
An electroactive elastomer converter is described comprising at least one electroactive elastomer layer () with a top side and underside and an electrically conductive electrode body (') that is two-dimensionally connected to the top side at least in regions. An electrically conductive electrode body (′) is dimensionally connected in at least two regions to the underside. At least one electrode body (′) in each case has an electrode surface facing the elastomer layer (). At least one opening () is present to which an a two-dimensional region in which there is no two-dimensional bond between the elastomer layer () and the electrode body (′). A compressible medium is provided in the area of the opening.
