The electrostrictive graft elastomer is a new type of electromechanically active polymer. Recently developed by NASA, it consists of flexible backbone chains, each with side chains, called grafts. Grafts from neighboring backbones physically cross-link and form crystal units. The flexible backbone chains and the crystal graft units are composed of polarized monomers, which contain atoms with electric partial charges, generating dipole moments. Polarized domains are created by dipole moments in the crystal units. When the elastomer is placed into an electric field, external rotating moments are applied to polarized domains. It stimulates the rotation of the polarized crystal graft units, which further induces deformation of the elastomer. In this paper, two-dimensional computational models are established to analyze the deformation mechanism of the graft elastomer.
