GLOBAL ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER PUMP MARKET
INTRODUCTION
Electroactive polymers Pump undergo large deformations when subject to an electric field, which make them an attractive material for use in novel actuator systems. This indicates the possibility of using DEAPs to model an innovative pumping actuator structure. The model was used to map important object parameters at individual operating points of the modeled pump.
The experimental work involved designing the membrane and evaluating its elasticity changes under a variety of forces and voltage sources. A pumping device was modeled using a finite element method (FEM) in the following section of the work.
Pressure is generated by membrane deformation in the new pump design. This is because of forces produced by permanent magnets and the electrostatic compressive force that is applied to the surface of the polymer by two electrodes. The model’s alignment with the measurements is demonstrated by the graphic representation of the results.
GLOBAL ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER PUMP MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST
The Global Electroactive Polymer pump market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
Electroactive polymer based microfluidic pump – An electrostrictive poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)]-based polymer is presented as the actuator material for a planar, valveless microfluidic pump.
In a unimorph diaphragm actuator configuration, P(VDF-TrFE) thick films with a high elastic energy density of 1 J/cm3 and a large electrostrictive strain of 5–7% have been utilized.
The polymer microactuator was combined with a nozzle/diffuser fluidic mechanical-diode structure to create the microfluidic pump. For an applied electric field of 90 MV/m, the P(VDF-TrFE) unimorph diaphragm actuator had an actuation deflection of 80 m. It was 80 m thick and had lateral dimensions of 2.2 mm 2.2 mm.
The microfluidic pump could easily be controlled by an external electrical field to pump methanol at a flow rate of 25 l/min at 63 Hz with a backpressure of 350 Pa. The pumping efficiency of two distinct nozzle/diffuser elements of 11 and 16 percent, respectively, was investigated.
