The present invention provides an electromechanical transducer comprising a dielectric elastomer with contact by a first electrode and a second electrode, said dielectric elastomer comprising a polyurethane polymer comprising the reaction product of A) a polyisocyanate and/or B) a polyisocyanate prepolymer with C) a compound having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups wherein the polyisocyanate prepolymer B) and/or the compound C) having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups comprise polytetramethylene glycol ether units of the formula (I): —[O—CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-]n  (I) where n≧25; and with a minimum value nmin for the value n and a maximum value nmax for the value n in the formula (I) selected such that the difference between nmax and nmin is ≧0 to ≦4. The present invention further provides a process for producing such an electromechanical transducer, and to an electric and/or electronic device including the inventive electromechanical transducer.
