Fabrication of graphene based electrothermal cantilever actuator [PDF]
The 8th Annual IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems, 2013 A novel actuator has been fabricated using graphene and graphene oxide composite paper as building blocks. The two materials have nearly equal Young's modulus, however a large displacement was observed during the electromechanically driven operation, which was attributed to great difference in coefficient of thermal expansion of graphene paper and ...

A bi-directional electrothermal electromagnetic actuator [PDF]
17th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. Maastricht MEMS 2004 Technical Digest, 2004 A bi-directional microactuator powered by the combination of electrothermal and electromagnetic forces is successfully demonstrated using both the Poly-MUMPs surface micromachining process and a 50 /spl mu/m SOI process. High output force has been measured from fabricated actuators in both DC and AC operations at non-resonant frequencies.
