Actuators are materials and devices that are able to change their shape in response to changes in environmental conditions and perform mechanical work on nano-, micro-, and macroscales. Among the huge variety of different actuators, polymer-based ones are highly attractive because of a number of properties such as sensitivity to a broad range of ...

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview on actuators. An actuator which may be considered as a device that converts some form of energy into a mechanical motion, the motion being either linear or rotary. Types of actuators can be divided into three categories dependent upon the medium used for operating the device, these being hydraulic ...
