摘要:A transducer is designed and fabricated using stretched rolled electroactivepolymers. The invention includes the design, fabrication, and integration of a stretched
rolled actuator system with corresponding sensing, control and power subsystems. Theinvention presented is based on the improved performance of electroactive polymertransducers that can be achieve by prestretching the polymeric material. In this invention,the preferred stretch is maintained in a rolled configuration by introducing structuralelements to the transducer. The structural elements facilitate fabrication of thetransducer as well as provide a compact and efficient means of maintaining stretch andthe desired boundary conditions on the electroactive polymer during operation. Theseconditions together are used to improve and tailor the strain response of the transducer.
