Electroactive Polymer Devices For Controlling Fluid Flow
view source
US Patent:

7320457, Jan 22, 2008
Filed:

Mar 5, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/383005
Inventors:

Jonathon R. Heim - Pacifica CA, US
Ronald E. Pelrine - Louisville CO, US
Roy David Kornbluh - Palo Alto CA, US
Joseph S. Eckerle - Redwood City CA, US
Marcus Rosenthal - Pacifica CA, US
Richard P. Heydt - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:

SRI International - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:

F16K 31/02
US Classification:

25112906, 239601
Abstract:

The invention describes devices for controlling fluid flow, such as valves. The devices may include one or more electroactive polymer transducers with an electroactive polymer that deflects in response to an application of an electric field. The electroactive polymer may be in contact with a fluid where the deflection of the electroactive polymer may be used to change a characteristic of the fluid. Some of the characteristic of the fluid that may be changed include but are not limited to 1) a flow rate, 2) a flow direction, 3) a flow vorticity, 4) a flow momentum, 5) a flow mixing rate, 6) a flow turbulence rate, 7) a flow energy, 8) a flow thermodynamic property. The electroactive polymer may be a portion of a surface of a structure that is immersed in an external fluid flow, such as the surface of an airplane wing or the electroactive polymer may be a portion of a surface of a structure used in an internal flow, such as a bounding surface of a fluid conduit.

US Patent:

7761981, Jul 27, 2010
Filed:

Apr 3, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/695976
Inventors:

Marcus A. Rosenthal - Pacifica CA, US
Qibing Pei - Fremont CA, US
Neville A. Bonwit - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:

SRI International - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:

H01R 43/00
US Classification:

29825, 29837, 29846
Abstract:

The invention describes rolled electroactive polymer devices. The invention also describes employment of these devices in a wide array of applications and methods for their fabrication. A rolled electroactive polymer device converts between electrical and mechanical energy; and includes a rolled electroactive polymer and at least two electrodes to provide the mechanical/electrical energy conversion. Prestrain is typically applied to the polymer. In one embodiment, a rolled electroactive polymer device employs a mechanism, such as a spring, that provides a force to prestrain the polymer. Since prestrain improves mechanical/electrical energy conversion for many electroactive polymers, the mechanism thus improves performance of the rolled electroactive polymer device.
