As the electrostrictive actuator for optic control, PZN-BT-PT ceramics were investigated for the influences of sintering conditions on the structural, electrostrictive properties and the optical properties of Fabry-perot Interferometer using eletrostrictive ceramics. The specimen SS15T, sintered 1hr at 1150$^{\circ}C$, is sutible for eletrostrictive actuator because its piezoelectric constants(dS131T) and strain(XS131T) at dc 10kV/cm had the higest value of 175${\times}$10S0-12TC/N, -255${\times}$10S0-6TΔl/l respectively. As the dc electric field increased, the interference effect of Fabry-Perot Interferometer was increased. The most intense interference fringe and the maximum power of 160${\mu}$W were observed at dc 6kV/cm. Thus it was considered that specimen SS15T could be used as the electrostrictive actuator for optic control.

In this paper, we discusses compliant actuators those are made of electrostrictive polymer. Electrostrictive polymer actuators(EPAs) are based on the deformation of dielectric elastomer polymer in the presence of an electric field. We address actual design and fabrication method of an actuator using the electrostrictive polymer. We have developed primitive prototypes of the actuator using elastic restoring force. And they actuators have 1 to 3 DOF, 1 DOF actuators are simple linear actuators and 3 DOF actuator has linear actuation and steering capability. They are simple in structure with lightweight, high trust, force and large stroke. Basic design principles and experimental procedures for confirming their performance will be introduced.

Electrostriction is the phenomenon that a material is strained due to Maxwell stress developed by the applied voltage. In many electrostrictive materials, especially polymeric elastomers can produce large deformation and force due to their low elastic modulus. In this study, polyurethanes and acrylic rubber with compliant electrodes were used as electrostrictive polymer(EP) actuator. Actuation characteristics of the EP actuators with different physical properties of dynamic modulus and dynamic dielectiric constant were analyzed under AC field. The classical laminate theory was also used to simulate the actuation process in relation to the geometry and the physical properties of the actuators.

Although Hereafter a mass production will claim for patterning nano sized thickness or line in micro-nano industry. existent lithography fabrication has many usable fields, it has complex fabrication steps, expensive values and row work rates. Development of Dip-pen type nano plotter using polymer actuator can construct row cost mass production system because it will change existent lithography fabrication more simple and easy.

To decrease the hysteresis of electric field induced strain, $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ dopant of which amount is 0-0.8wt% was added to the (P $b_{0.73}$B $a_{0.27}$)(Z $r_{0}$ 75/ $Ti_{0.25}$) $O_{3}$ ceramics. Electromechanical coupling coefficients of the specimen with 0.1 Wt% $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ were $k_{p}$=26.9% and $k_{31}$ =20.4%, which exhibited the maximum value at the constant bias electric field of 10 kV/cm. At the same $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ addition amount, electric field piezoelectric constant ( $d_{3l}$) and strain(.DELTA.l/l) showed the maximum values of 139.6*10$^{-12}$ [C/N] and 126*10$^{-6}$ .DELTA. l/l respectively at 10 kV/cm electric field. And the hysteresis of strain showed the minimum value of 17.5%. So, we propose that it is possible to apply PBZT system with $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ dopant to the electrostrictive actuator.r.r.

For the purpose of applying to micro-actuator, thermal properties and displacement of electrostrictive polyurethane(PU) elastomers have been measured. In order to understand an effect of PU component, crosslinking agent are controlled by 0.5 wt% and 1 wt%. DMPA and anther chain extenders were used. PU sample that chain extenders are DMPA is added NaOH for comprehension of effect of ionic groups. The deposited electrode sire on PU films is equal to acrylic holder size when the displacement was measured. Dynamic response according to frequency, displacement and recovery time according to PU thickness were measured. 1 wt% crosslinking agent contents PU samples have higher displacement and lower recovery time than 0.5 wt% crosslinking agent contents PU. If the PU thickness is increased, the actuating voltage for generating of same displacement is increased, too.

(1-X)LTC-XHTC composites were manufactured with the variation of X in the range of 0.3 $\leq$X $\leq$0.6 and its dielectric properties were investigated. Here, LTC and HTC are PZN-BT-PT -based ceramics with quire temperature(Tc) of 100。 C-3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. 0.6HTC-0.4LTC composite ceramics show excellent values of $\Delta$$\varepsilon$$_{r}$/$\varepsilon$[%] which were -7.1% at -2$0^{\circ}C$ and -12% at 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. It is thought that composite ceramics with above results can be applied to electrostrictive actuator, high voltage ceramic capacitor etc.mic capacitor etc.r etc.c.

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.
