Fabrication and Characterization of Fe/Polyurethane Nanofiber Actuator Prepared by Electrospinning

Abstract

In this study, we aim to develop a technology to drive electrically conductive nanofibers made of polymers as an actuator. In a conventional actuator, because the potential is applied to a two-dimensional planar film shape, large electric power is necessary, the displacement is small, and application is difficult.
