Abstract

Le principe des polymères électro-actifs a été découvert il y a plus d’un siècle. Ce n’est que depuis une dizaine d’années qu’ils sont utilisés dans la micro-ingénierie pour leur propriété de déformation importante. Un projet à base de EAPs est proposé afin d’utiliser cet effet de déformation pour créer un mouvement de rotation mécanique à une fréquence prédéterminée. Cette rotation sera ensuite utilisée pour faire tourner les aiguilles d’une montre.
