Electrostatically Driven Nanoballoon Actuator.
We demonstrate an inflatable nanoballoon actuator based on geometrical transitions between the inflated (cylindrical) and collapsed (flattened) forms of a carbon nanotube. In situ transmission electron microscopy experiments employing a nanoelectromechanical manipulator show that a collapsed carbon nanotube can be reinflated by electrically charging the nanotube, thus realizing an electrostatic...
متن کاملExtensively chaotic motion in electrostatically driven nanowires and applications.
We carry out a detailed bifurcation analysis for a common class of electrostatically driven nanowires in a multiphysics model. A finding is that the nanoscale system can exhibit distinct chaotic states: chaos with symmetry breaking and extensive chaos possessing the full symmetry of the system. Potential applications such as nanoscale random number generator and controlling extensive chaos to a...
متن کاملElectrostatically Driven Microgripper
In this work we report on microactuators and microgrippers fabricated from SOI (Silicon On Insulator) wafers by a surface and bulk micromachining fabrication technology. The main advantages of this technology are: a) large thickness of the devices (10 μm up to 40 μm) resulting in devices which are stable against disturbing forces perpendicular (z-direction) to the ground plate. b) the small num...
متن کاملElectrostatically Driven Creep in Viscoelastic Dielectric Elastomers
We utilize a nonlinear, dynamic finite element model coupled with a finite deformation viscoelastic constitutive law to study the inhomogeneous deformation and instabilities resulting from the application of a constant voltage to dielectric elastomers. The constant voltage loading is used to study electrostatically driven creep and the resulting electromechanical instabilities for two different...
متن کاملElectrostatically-driven elastomer components for user-reconfigurable high density microfluidics.
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of an electrostatically actuated user-reconfigurable elastomer microfluidic system intended for very large scale integration (VLSI) microfluidics. By adding thin film metal flexures into the PDMS polymer, individual elastomer channels were made to self-close without the use of pneumatics via the application of 15-20 V, 5 MHz sign...
