Bistable Electroactive Polymers

詳細技術說明: None

*Abstract

A bistable electroactive polymer transducer is provided for electrically actuated deformation of rigid electroactive polymer members. The polymers have glass transition temperatures (Tg) above ambient conditions and turn into rubbery elastomers above Tg and have high dielectric breakdown strength in the rubbery state. They can be electrically deformed to various rigid shapes with maximum strain greater than 100% and as high as 400%. The actuation is made bistable by cooling below Tg to preserve the deformation. The dielectric actuation mechanism includes a pair of compliant electrodes in contact with a dielectric elastomer which deforms when a voltage bias is applied between the pair of electrodes. In some of the transducers of the present invention, the dielectric elastomer is also a shape memory polymer. The deformations of such bistable electroactive polymers can be repeated rapidly for numerous cycles. The polymer transducers have such advantages as high energy and power densities, quietness, mechanical compliancy (for shock resistance and impedance matching), high efficiency, lightweight, and low cost.

Title: Bistable electroactive polymers
Usefulness: Bistable electroactive polymers
Summary: As a bistable transducer (claimed) for electrically actuated deformation of rigid electroactive polymer members; can be adapted to many different uses such as with robotics, motor, pump, toy, actuator, generator, sensor, medical implant or prosthetic device, solar cell positioning system, Braille display, electrically tunable diffraction grating, unimorph and bimorph applications.
Novelty: Transducer for bistable actuation comprises two electrodes joined to polymer members to produce electric field, where polymer softens and deforms with increase in temperature and retains deformed shape below transition temperature
