Lead-free programmable multistable piezo-thermal actuators (LEAP)
Duration: 01.06.2020 bis 31.05.2023
We aim to develop novel multistable and programmable actuators based on the combination of piezoelectric and thermal actuation. Whilst generally creating new performance and functionality compared to present piezo actuators, we address the key challenge of implementing lead-free alternatives to conventional lead-ziconate-titanate (PZT) based ceramics.
