The present disclosure relates to an electromechanical actuator, having a stack arrangement made of ceramic basis material having electromechanical properties and electrodes as well as a ceramic insulation for operation/use of the actuator in a humid environment. To ensure a long service life of the actuator with increased electromechanical expansion, an exemplary structure of the ceramic insulation has a smaller average grain size than the structure of the ceramic basis material. A method for the production of an actuator having ceramic insulation and a method for controlling such an actuator are also disclosed.
Wafer-Scale Piezoelectric Bio-Organic Thin Films
A flexible piezoelectric thin film, and method of manufacture, has a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-glycine-PVA sandwich heterostructure. The thin film is manufactured by evaporating the solvent from a glycine-PVA mixture solution. The film automatically assembles into the PVA-glycine-PVA sandwich heterostructure as it is salted out. Strong hydrogen bonding between the oxygen atoms in glycine and hydroxyl groups on PVA chains are responsible for the nucleation and growth of the piezoelectric γ-glycine and alignment of the domain orientation.
Parylene coating process for temperature sensitive components
A method for applying a waterproof coating to a transducer component includes the steps of cleaning and promoting bonding on the transducer component by immersing the component in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol, deionized water, and siline. The component is then air dried and rinsed in pure isopropyl alcohol. After drying, the component is vacuum baked and subjected to a vacuum for twelve hours. A parylene coating is provided to the component surface. The parylene coating is abraded, and the surface is rinsed with pure isopropyl alcohol. After drying, polyurethane is provided on the abraded parylene surface. The polyurethane is cured to form a waterproof coating on the transducer component. In further embodiments, a second parylene coating can be provided outside the polyurethane.
