Title:
MECHANISMS FOR PRE-STRETCHING ELECTRO-ACTIVE POLYMERS BY A PRE-DETERMINED AMOUNT AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/025854
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to an exemplary inventive method having steps of: providing at least one housing having a pre-determined physical structure; fixing a first edge of at least one electro-active polymer (EAP) film within the at least one housing; connecting a first edge of at least one pulling mechanism to a second edge of the at least one EAP film; where a second edge of the at least one pulling mechanism extends outside of the at least one housing; sufficiently pulling at the second edge of the at least one pulling mechanism to form at least one pre-stretched EAP film that has been stretched in a first axial direction within the at least one housing by a first pre-determined, pre-stretched amount; and where the pre- determined, pre-stretched amount is limited by the pre-determined physical structure of the housing.
