Abstract
Polymer electrostrictor materials can exhibit high electroactive strain and hold increasing promise for a variety of actuator applications. The size of available actuators has been limited, however, by the solution-based casting and annealing process generally required to prepare electrostrictor actuator materials. We report on a high throughput melt and stretch extrusion process capable of creating large sheets of an electrostructive terpolymer, poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-1, 1-chlorofluoroethlene) while producing a suitable crystallinity and crystal phase for high strain electrostrictor performance such as artificial muscle systems.
