Ultrasonic rotary motors have the potential to meet this NASA need and they are developed as actuators for miniature telerobotic applications.
Increasingly NASA experiments, instruments and applications are requiring pumps that are miniature and consume low power.
Ion-exchange polymer membrane metallic composites (IPMC) are one of the electroactive polymers (EAP) that were shown to have potential application as actuators.
Electroactive polymers (EAP) are emerging as a new class of actuation materials being considered in a wide range of applications.
A novel ultrasonic drilling and coring device (USDC) was demonstrated to drill a wide variety of rocks: from ice and chalk to granite and basalt.
Nafion-Pt composite (ICPF) is one of the most practical electroactive polymer nearest to applications.
Electro-rheological fluids (ERFs) are electroactive fluids that experience dramatic changes in rheological properties, in the presence of an electric field.
