ELECTROACTIVE ACTUATOR AND METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

The invention relates to a method of producing an electroactive actuator from a stack comprising a first electrode (20) and a layer comprising an electroactive polymer superposed on the electrode (20), the electroactive polymer being deformed when it is in a crystalline state and when an electric field is applied thereto. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining an electroactive layer (30) comprising a step in which the layer comprising the electroactive polymer superposed on the stack is crystallized; and forming a second electrode (21) such that the electroactive layer (30) is disposed between the two electrodes (20, 21). The invention is characterized in that the electroactive polymer is formed from a material which crystallizes under the effect of an ultraviolet flash, and in that the crystallization step includes a UV flash step. The invention further relates in particular to an electroactive activator of this type.
