An exceptional bimorph effect and a low quality factor from carbon nanotube-polymer composites.
Microcantilever actuators made from carbon nanotube polymer are driven at very low pull-in voltages and the thermal bimorph effect reaches 325 microm at 26-110 degrees C, much greater than the values for existing devices.
