In this review paper, the complete discoveries of dielectric materials from ceramics to
polymer composites and concepts that lead to applying these materials in actual …

Energy storage devices constitute one of the research areas in recent years. Capacitors are
commonly used for the storage of electrical energy. The current research is focusing on not …

Electrostriction plays an important role in the electromechanical behavior of ferroelectrics
and describes a phenomenon in dielectrics where the strain varies proportional to the …

An exceptionally high electrostrictive response (∼ 4 percent) was observed in electron-
irradiated poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene)[P (VDF-TrFE)] copolymer. The material …

Magnetoelectric (ME) materials combine magnetic and electric polarizabilities in the same
phase, offering a basis for developing high-density data storage and spintronic or low …

Polyacrylate dielectric elastomers have yielded extremely large strain and elastic energy
density suggesting that they are useful for many actuator applications. A thorough …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

Electromechanical metal oxides, such as piezoceramics, are often incompatible with soft
polymers due to their crystallinity requirements, leading to high processing temperatures …

The importance of a high shear coefficient d 15 (or d 24⁠) to the piezoelectric properties of
domain-engineered and polycrystalline ferroelectrics is discussed. The extent of polarization …

It is well known that electrostrictive strains are proportional to the square of the applied
electric field. It therefore appeared reasonable to assume that for some polymeric materials …
