Electromechanical activity

The lead-based perovskite relaxor ferroelectrics, Pb(B B")03, (see Section 5.7.2) have exceptionally high permittivity values and therefore, from Eq. (6.7) are expected to be strongly electromechanically active and especially suited to transducer applications.

Also some conducting polymers can be deposited using spin coating. Especially PEDOTiPSS (also known under the brand names Bayfron P and Clevios P) is often deposited from dipersion. Recently, spin coating the electromechanically active CP layer has been demonstrated for the first time (Taccola et al. 2013). 

The development of novel electromechanically active materials also demands suitable methods for characterization of their actuation performance. Actuators can be constructed in a variety of configurations - bending, linear length change (Torop et al. 2009 Ghaffari et al. 2013), and torsional actuation (Foroughi et al. 2011) being...
