  • STRUCTURED ACTUATORS: SHAPED ELECTROACTIVE POLYMERS
    Publication number: 20240130239
    Abstract: An actuator assembly includes a primary electrode, a secondary electrode overlapping at least a portion of the primary electrode, and an electroactive polymer layer disposed between the primary electrode and the secondary electrode, where the electroactive polymer layer includes a non-vertical (e.g., sloped) sidewall with respect to a major surface of at least one of the electrodes. The electroactive polymer layer may be characterized by a non-axisymmetric shape with respect to an axis that is oriented orthogonal to an electrode major surface.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 18, 2022
    Publication date: April 18, 2024
    Inventors: Kenneth Alexander Diest, Andrew John Ouderkirk, Renate Eva Klementine Landig, Katherine Marie Smyth, Spencer Allan Wells, Tingling Rao, Sheng Ye, Eric Collier Schmitt, Nagi Hosni Elabbasi, Bachir Ahmed Abeid
