Preparation and performance evaluation of electrothermal actuators using aligned carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites

By using an aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced epoxy composite, an electrothermal bimorph actuator was fabricated and its load and deformation capacities were investigated. The composite has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) as well as large Young’s modulus. To e...
