A poly vinyl chloride (PVC) gel actuator shows great potential because of such positive characteristics as movement in the air, large deformation, and being lightweight. We have proposed a structure of a contraction type actuator. The PVC gel actuator is constructed by the plasticized PVC and mesh type electrodes. In this study, we propose an application of PVC gel actuator to negative actuated brakes...
In our last paper, we have reported that due to the polarization properties of the plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC gels), the low energy ion irradiation made an internal negative charge accumulate on the gel surface near the anode. It then resulted in the creep deformation of PVC gel along the anode. In this paper, the small force generated by an applied electric field was measured by an innovative...
