    Electrostrictive PVDF-TrFE Thin Film Actuators for the Control of Adaptive Thin Shell Reflectors
    Research 2020 : October - December
    Kainan Wang, Thomas Godfroid , Damien Robert, Andre Preumont

    This paper presents the technology to control the shape of thin polymer doubly curved\nshell structures with a unimorph layer of strain actuators to achieve high quality, light-weight,\nfoldable space reflectors. The selected active material is PVDF-TrFE deposited by spin coating;\nit is electrostrictive, isotropic and enjoys an excellent piezoelectric coefficient d31................
