"HIGH-PERFORMANCE ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER TRANSDUCERS"

Application 6456/DELNP/2007 published 2007-09-14, filed 2007-08-20
Electroactive polymer constructions that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy and vice versa are disclosed. The subject transducers (actuators, generators, sensors or combinations thereof) share the requirement of a frame or fixture element used in preloading elastomeric film electrodes and dielectric polymer in a desired configuration. The structures are either integrally biased in a push-pull arrangement or preloaded/biased by another element.
