However, their usage remains constrained by high driving voltages needed to achieve substantial actuation. Here, we design a skin\u2010inspired high\u2010\u03ba self\u2010healing elastomer, poly\u2010(acrylonitrile\u2010co\u2010butadiene)\u2010co\u2010thiourea (PABTU), that features a high dielectric constant (15 at 1\u00a0kHz), low Young's modulus (0.58 and 0.012\u00a0MPa upon pre\u2010stretch), and ability to form pinhole\u2010free thin films (\u223c 3 \u00b5m). To mitigate relatively high dielectric loss of our PABTU, PABTU\/PDMS\u2010MPU\n                    <jats:sub>0.3<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2010IU\n                    <jats:sub>0.7<\/jats:sub>\n                    bilayer structure (ULTRA) is used for actuators, increasing its breakdown strength from \u223c33 to 43\u00a0V\/\u00b5m. Our ULTRA actuators exhibit visible deformation at an unprecedented low voltage of 30\u00a0V and an areal strain exceeding 130% at 120\u00a0V, representing an order of magnitude reduction in voltage for actuation compared with previously reported DEAs while achieving similar actuation strain. As proof of concept, we demonstrate a low\u2010voltage multipixel array with ULTRA DEA. Our molecular design concept provides a path for material systems toward low\u2010voltage operating soft robotics.\n
