New approaches are needed to enhance intelligence in microsystems. Elastomer-based systems offer a wide range of possibilities in this regard when the different properties of dielectric elastomer (DE) transducers are skillfully combined. Therefore, an inflatable circular shaped DE-membrane was chosen as geometry, because studies have shown a significant potential for large displacement. Silicone was selected as the material because of its significant advantages, such as fast response times and low hysteresis. Unfortunately, it does not exhibit snap-through behavior, which was shown by using the hyperelastic Gent material model. Various thicknesses of the silicone layer were analyzed with respect to their stress-strain curves, in order to find a suitable operating range with large flatness in the stress-strain curve. For electrostatic activation, two electrodes were applied on top and bottom of the membranes. This results in a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), which can change the height of the spherical inflated membrane when a sufficient voltage is applied. For including intrinsic intelligence, dielectric elastomer switches (DES) were added. For both, DEA and DES, the stiffening effect of the electrodes and DES structures were determined. This results in a promising composite configuration of a DEA with a layer thickness of 50 µm and a DES on top of a 20 µm insulation layer. With this combined base unit, the DEA achieved a displacement of 3 mm at an electric field of 80 V/µm, and the DES achieved a change in resistance of three orders of magnitude over a range of 1.3 mm. This combined base unit serves as the foundation for building an autonomous operating platform in the future.
