Notes:
A novel multilayer actuator from a fairly new polymer dielectric material, electromechanical film (EMF), has been fabricated. The characterization of the actuator performance, piezoelectric constant (d33=29.7×10−12 m/V), displacement frequency response and resonances (f=1–40 kHz), and displacement behavior of dc and ac electric fields has been determined. An interferometric displacement measurement system was used for these measurements. The mechanical displacement hysteresis was found to be less than 7% (input voltage Vp−p=485 V) in quasistatic low-frequency (f=1 Hz) measurement. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
