The LCE is hereby designed as a thermal bimorph actuator, using a distinct thermal expansion coefficient between the LCE and PDMS sides to create a highly controllable deformation and thus motion.

Thermal nanoactuators rely on the expansion or contraction of materials in response to temperature changes. They often utilize bimorph structures, where two materials with different thermal expansion ...

Other less common configurations include block, disk, bender, and bimorph styles. These devices can also be ultrasonic. Ultrasonic actuators are specifically designed to produce strokes of several ...

The Amplified Piezo Actuators, APAs, developed by the CEDRAT Group have force and displacement performance ranges which are beyond that of direct or bimorph Piezoactuators. The APA25XS is the smallest ...
